Interfaces magically appear on a Windows computer when you add it to the
network, apparently. I strongly suspect it does some DHCP things to find
the default gateway.

Well, my Fonera is going to live in the DMZ on my network, and there are
no Windows PCs in sight.

Presumably something somewhere tells you what IP address the thing sits
on by default etc., but it's not on their site or in the flimsy "getting
started" guide.

I have e-mailed their tech support. So far just an auto-ticket as a
response.

Historians now believe the iBusiness trend was started by sleepy vi
users who had forgotten they were already in insert mode. Foisting a
patented Buzzword on the internet-hungry masses of the late 20th century
was, after all, far easier than the keystrokes required to remove the
extra letter.
