My SuSE 8.2 laptop has 2 network interfaces. A builtin assgined to eth0
and a PCMCIA wireless card. Both are set to acquire IP addresses via
DHCP.
When I have the PCMCIA card plugged in, the routing table does not
include the default route, so I need to add it manually:
Destination  Gateway      Genmask      Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0  0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0   U        0  0        0  eth1

If I execute rcnetwork restart, the routing table is correct, so it
appears to be a problem at boot time. If I remove the PCMCIA card and
replace it, the routing table loses its default route. 

I suspect that there is a subtle bug either in
etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-route or
etc/sysconfig/network/ifup-pcmcia-eth

If anyone has an idea, you might save me some work in debugging this. 

Note:I have not added any information in YaST/Network Card config/routes
for either card.
