I don't want a default gateway on this interface, but I need a gateway defined for the network 192.168.2.0/24. I'll go back and review it again. But when I had no GATEWAY defined and a NETWORK defined, I got the wrong routing table. Part of the problem is that I already have a default gateway defined on another interface on this machine. This particular box is not an end computer but a router box between four networks. One of them being a Wireless network - hence the pcmcia configuration.
