Good news.

Those two are related. When the startup scripts see the GATEWAY entry, they
set up the default route.

I get that when I try to send something to another computer on the network,
but the driver isn't loaded, or the eth0 interface isn't 'up', or has no IP
address. If there's a routing problem, it rather says 'no route to host'.

I think, it's a configuration problem, but I can't figure out if it's the
configuration of the card and its driver, or something else. In these cases,
I use tcpdump to see if there are ethernet telegrams of any kind coming in.
To make really sure I would use another computer or at least another
ethernet card and speak to the refractory card from the outside.

I have tcpdump installed here. It's the usual configure, make, make install
thing. It needs libpcap, that's in the book. Don't forget to call
ldconfig after installing a new library.

If it's only one word, no spaces and no special characters, it's the same.

XY=hello
echo "$XY"
hello

XY="hello"
echo "$XY"
hello

XY=hi guys
bash: guys: command not found
