ifconfig is the closest single command.

gateway =

	netstat -rn -f inet | fgrep default | awk '{print $2}'

on my Powerbook, the wired IP address is 'en0' and the Airport is 
'en1'... you may have to change these to suit your needs

en0 IP address

	ifconfig en0 | tr -d '\012' | fgrep -v inactive | awk '{print $6}'

(change 'en0' to 'en1' to get that instead)

If it is empty, the interface is inactive.

Not sure about DHCP, as I'm not using it in my setup.
