Description Ion Badulescu 1999-05-12 12:01:53 UTC 
It's pretty simple -- if one tries to add a static route,
the gateway for that route will overwrite the default
gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network, even though the default
gateway _is_ specified on the same netcfg screen.

This is fixed in netcfg-2.24, which will be in the next release of Raw Hide.
