Currently we let dhclient route the OS to try networking via the Wii U and then immediately try to undo that route in vanilla-pipe. Sometimes this appears to fail (and is kind of a hacky solution to begin with).
We should try and figure out a way to make our DHCP client not create this route to begin with. I think the technical way with dhclient would be to modify the dhclient-script, however dhclient is also EOL (#77) so the solution we use should probably be tailored for a different DHCP client. There's an argument to have our own built-in DHCP client since DHCP is frequently built into programs (e.g. NetworkManager).
