I have two problems with this script, would be nice to solve them
for Mandrake.
1) (mdk bug?) Lots of errors mentioning `basename'. Reason: running
code for DHCP even if it's not enabled for interface. Patch below.
2) (rh bug/prob?) Lines beginning "this is broken! it's only here for
compatibility with old RH systems". Can we remove this duff code
please? The reason is: I want different gateways for different
interfaces, but this code results in duplicating gateway which is set
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<nn> instead of global file
/etc/sysconfig/network See my netstat below
Cheers,
