Please post your /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<device>, thanks!

What default gateway do you want it to set? (There doesn't appear to be one
listed for the wireless network...)

Comment 7 Fortepianissimo 2002-08-15 10:15:56 UTC 
In initscripts-6.67-1 the default gateway was correctly set via dhcp. So it's 
probably not something fixed?
Comment 8 Fortepianissimo 2002-08-22 20:24:25 UTC 
initscripts-6.91-1 still has the same problem (the last version that worked for
me is initscripts-6.67-1).
Comment 9 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-29 22:17:39 UTC 
Hm, I can't reproduce this here with what is (essentially) your config. It's not
using wireless, but that *shouldn't* make a difference. What does your
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases look like?

/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases
Comment 11 Bill Nottingham 2002-09-03 19:49:18 UTC 
And, just to clarify, what version of dhclient do you have running?
Comment 12 Fortepianissimo 2002-09-03 20:11:08 UTC 
I have dhclient-3.0pl1-9 installed, but not the other dhcp packages. Well 
actually before I installed initscripts-6.92 I was running initscripts-6.67 
with an older version of dhcp client, and I didn't have /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-
eth1.leases. It's after seeing your message that prompted me to check what dhcp 
client I was running. So I removed the old dhcp client, installed the current 
initscripts and dhclient - but still no luck.
Comment 13 Bill Nottingham 2002-09-03 20:34:38 UTC 
Moving to dhclient; the default route gets set there, unless I'm really missing
something.
Comment 14 Fortepianissimo 2002-10-06 22:41:32 UTC 
RH 8.0 has the same behavior (i.e., the default gateway is not set after
inserting the wireless card). However I managed to fix this, by adding a file
/sbin/ifup-pre-local containing this:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
    eth0)
    ;;

    eth1)
        route del default
    ;;


and add back my default gateway in /sbin/ifdown-local:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
    eth0)
    ;;

    eth1)
        route add default gw 192.168.1.1
    ;;
esac
Comment 15 Daniel Walsh 2003-01-24 20:44:42 UTC 
I believe the routers are only going to be set if the server is handing down a
default route.  So is your dhcpd set up to hand down routes?

Closing, lack of response.
