I demonstrated this problem at Gnunify - and a few RedHat heavyweights tried 
to solve it. They could not.

all connections - both usb and ethernet. For the usb modem, the gateway is 
hard coded so that works.

network manager/wvdial for usb and network manager for ethernet

the problem arises when I switch my laptop from one ethernet to another (home 
to office, or some else's lan during a talk). Also when rebooting

[r...@xlquest lawgon]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1002   0        0 eth0
default         firewall.lan.au 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

this is after changing the default - before changing the last line is missing, 
or set to the previous gateway. I almost never shutdown the laptop.
