Then set DHCLIENT_DEBUG to "yes", and wait for logging information to show up in the system log. Dhcpcd uses local0 as its syslog facility, which by default SuSE logs to /var/log/localmessages along with the other local* facilities. Supposedly local1 through local7 are used by some init scripts, but I have never seen it, and no such file exists on my system; however, if you want a separate file, modify /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in and run SuSEconfig (and restart syslog-ng if SuSEconfig does not).
OK, and update: I'll post updated/more information below, but first I am not sure where you mean for me to look. I see in the dhcpcd man file that the -d option turns on debugging, but I am not sure what command/seq of commands to use. I am also not sure where to put the "DHCLIENT_DEBUG to "yes"" parameter. I issued this command: p02-dcs13:~ # dhcpcd -n -G 192.168.2.1 eth1 hoping it would renew the lease, and then force the gateway information, but it did not work. Perhaps the command syntax is just wrong? It seems that if I do not get/have an active wireless DHCP lease, that when I get a lease for the wired interface (eth1) I don't get a default gateway. With Wireless I do. I also noticed in man file that by default dhcpcd uses eth0. Well, I don't have an eth0. See ifconfig and other output below: p02-dcs13:~ # ifconfig ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:96:AA:85:43 inet6 addr: fe80::240:96ff:feaa:8543/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:318 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:318 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:200 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Memory:f9200000-f9210000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2F:AC:EE:AB inet addr:192.168.2.145 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:2fff:feac:eeab/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3227 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2685 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:268328 (262.0 Kb) TX bytes:270431 (264.0 Kb) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1401 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1401 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:51293 (50.0 Kb) TX bytes:51293 (50.0 Kb) p02-dcs13:~ # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo p02-dcs13:~ # p02-dcs13:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.7 search site p02-dcs13:~ # p02-dcs13:~ # cat /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth1.info IPADDR=192.168.2.145 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.2.0 BROADCAST=192.168.2.255 GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 HOSTNAME='p02-dcs13' DOMAIN='Aprilaire.com' DNS=192.168.0.7,192.168.0.4 WINSSERVERS=192.168.0.7 NETBIOSNODETYPE=8 DHCPSID=192.168.0.8 DHCPGIADDR=192.168.2.2 DHCPSIADDR=0.0.0.0 DHCPCHADDR=00:11:2F:AC:EE:AB DHCPSHADDR=00:07:50:FA:B7:FF DHCPSNAME='' LEASETIME=1209600 RENEWALTIME=604800 REBINDTIME=1058400 INTERFACE='eth1' CLASSID='Linux 2.6.13-15.8-default i686' CLIENTID=00:11:2F:AC:EE:AB p02-dcs13:~ #
