Description Kristian Benoit 2005-05-19 18:04:16 UTC
When there's no dhcp server, your interface get configured with :
ifconfig_fallback_eth?
However, in that case you probably want to set a default gateway, but you
probably dont want that gateway to be set if there was a dhcp server in the
first time. The actual script does not permit a different default gateway for
fallback config.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
either you get the default gateway configured all the time or you never get a
default gateway configured.

Expected Results:  
Be able to set a default gateway for the fallback inteface.

This patch just fix that for rc-scripts-1.4.16 (baselayout-1.9.4-r6)

This patch could be enhanced to support fallback route, ... but as this feature
is probably mostly used by laptop users (computer that change networks) which
usually do not need additionnal route, it is probably not necessary.
