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...)

In initscripts-6.67-1 the default gateway was correctly set via dhcp. So it's probably not something fixed?
initscripts-6.91-1 still has the same problem (the last version that worked for me is initscripts-6.67-1).
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?

And, just to clarify, what version of dhclient do you have running?
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.
Moving to dhclient; the default route gets set there, unless I'm really missing something.
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
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? Dan
Closing, lack of response.
