I can't find that typo in CVS.  Can you e-mail me a copy of your
/bin/trivial-net-setup?  (You can use scp to get it onto another Unix
machine.)

You can invoke dhcpcd by hand instead of through trivial-net-setup.
(t-n-s is really mainly meant for people who are not using DHCP and
aren't familiar with using ifconfig and route.)  You should just be
able to type "dhcpcd".
