Description of problem: Networkmanager sets wrong default gateway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64 NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64 NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: My system has eth0 and usb0. eth0 is the interface to the LAN with the firewall and internet. usb0 is gadget-ethernet to the ipaq running Linux $ cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=00:1f:d0:b1:f8:36 ONBOOT=yes BROADCAST=192.168.10.255 IPADDR=192.168.10.70 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.10.0 TYPE=Ethernet DNS1=192.168.10.98 SEARCH=hierzo MTU=7200 GATEWAY=192.168.10.98 USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=yes PEERDNS=yes $ cat ifcfg-usb0 DEVICE=usb0 ONBOOT=yes BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 IPADDR=192.168.0.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 TYPE=Ethernet DNS1=192.168.10.98 SEARCH=hierzo BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=yes PEERDNS=yes HWADDR=16:dc:da:a4:48:0a $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=surfplank2.hierzo Steps to Reproduce: 1.configure box like above 2.reboot or `service network restart` 3.no internet due to wrong default gateway (ip of usb0 instead of 192.168.10.98) Actual results: no internet due to wrong default gateway (ip of usb0 instead of 192.168.10.98) Expected results: default gateway to 192.168.10.98 which is the firewall so that I don't have to correct the routing manually. Additional info: 'Network Configuration' applet shows correct default gateway for eth0.

Priority is set to high because no network is deadly, desktop is useless without network. ALso the issue is a very basic one which shouldn't be an issue.
Same wird eth0 message `NetworkManager: <WARN> check_one_route(): (eth0) error -34 returned from rtnl_route_del(): Sucess#012 ` appears here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/293228 as well as other places and appears to be connected to a number of network issues preventing a correct network setup. How can we investigate and fix this issue? What info do you need besides what I posted?
Also see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477916 This is different behaviour, though. system-config-network-tui etc think config is OK.
So to select a *specific* network device as the default, you need to set "GATEWAYDEV=<defualt device>" in /etc/sysconfig/network; this is true with the normal network service as well. Does that fix the problem for you?
Without adding the GATEWAYDEV (which I just did add) it worked OK for the past few reboots. (I don't do that every day) SO: at this moment I can't reproduce the issue although I did not modify the ifcfg files, except add one for usb1. I'll pay attention next time the box has to reboot.
Ok, let me know.
This bug has been triaged -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
On F11 now; I did not see the problem reoccur.
Ok, thanks; GATEWAYDEV is the only way to ensure that the configuration you specify gets the default route. Otherwise, even with ifup/ifdown (ie, no NetworkManager involved) the last config you 'ifup' will get the default route. Same with NM; if there is no GATEWAYDEV set the last device of the same class wins, essentially. Let me know if the ordering gets messed up again, if (of course) you've set GATEWAYDEV. Thanks!
