For what its worth, I noticed that with the rawhide update on Sat, June
12, the dchp client no longer routed. I determined that before
dhclient-script finished, there were two entries for default:
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
But then when dhclient-script would finish, the default gw for 192.168.0.1
world be deleted leaving only the * default gateway. The following patch
resolves this, but I do not know it it messes other things.
