The key word is 'reboot'. AFAIK, 'route' manipulates the running kernel, not the permanent settings. Set your gateway using Yast or by editing the network config files (sorry, I'd have to look it up to tell you exactly which one).
actually I did reboot, a number of times, and I also did if/up/down and network stop/start. What I'm trying to say is, wired routing wasn't a problem, the network came up and stays up. Wireless configuration is more of that "black box" syndrome.. I've been working on it for 3 days, and I still had to do manual configurations to get it to work, and I don't know if it will work when I reboot.
The only time I have seen this problem is when there is both a wired NIC and a wireless NIC in the same machine. And the network config really doesn't know which one should point to the gateway.
I use plugd and hot plugging to set up the networking. If I unplug the wired connection and then plug in the PCMCIA card my wireless becomes active with all the correct settings working. The same works in reverse automatically. There is a setting in YaST networking for setting this up. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
