Not true. I've been using Fedora for a long time and with different
providers and I've never had to do this.
I do it at least twice a day
Hmm, interesting. Could you please elaborate ? You should not have to do
that at all. If you do, that's a bug and you should report it. However,
lets try and debug this first ...
I demonstrated this problem at Gnunify - and a few RedHat heavyweights tried
to solve it. They could not.
a. What sort of connection do you have to do this for ?
all connections - both usb and ethernet. For the usb modem, the gateway is
hard coded so that works.
b. What tool do you use to make the connection, NetworkManager/wvdial ?
network manager/wvdial for usb and network manager for ethernet
c. Do you have any other connections active ?[1]
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
d. Could you please paste the output of 'route -n', before and after
you've changed the default route ?
[root@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.
