netmask should not be in /etc/sysconfig/network
you can however put GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 there
Just out of curiousity, are you sure that the gateway address isn't
registered on startup?
route -n # doesn't show the default gateway address at startup?
if so, does running the commands...
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
make the gateway address appear in 'route -n' after running those
commands?
Interesting. The default route does appear after an ifdown - ifup. I've
been using 'netstat -nr' to determine its existence. So that begs the
question of why it is not set at boot time. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
