The right way to show the default gateway is not ifconfig, but netstat:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig

The default gateway is the one with the destination of 0.0.0.0.  It is
the node where your outgoing packets will go if there is no closer
matching route.  In the list above, any traffic destined for addresses
other other than 10.199.254.0/24 or 169.254.0.0/16 will go via 10.199.254.1.
