    I didn't do any of that. That script gets written when I save the settings
    in system-config-network. And all I do there is tell it to get the IP
    automatically through dhcp.

    Before, I was using a linksys router (192.168.1.1) and I gave myself a
    static private IP (192.168.1.10), but not now. Now, I'm trying to get the
    IP through dhcp, and (1) the script is wrong and (2) even though the
    script is still trying to use the old settings, I AM getting a real IP
    address (but no default gateway). It's beyond my understanding.
