[ale] ppp gateways

[keithh at inetnow.net (Keith Hopkins)]

I am looking for any ideas as to what this problem may be.  I am
running linux 2.0.27 on a AMD486dx4-133 (5x86-133).  I have a 3com 3c5x9
card installed and running on eth0.
  I can start up DIP and connect to my ISP (capturing $iploc and setting
'default' before switching to mode ppp), but the default route gw is
never set for the ppp0 link.  I have to manually set the route gw (route
add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in order to use the connection.
  The odd part: once when I can recompiled the kernel and it did not
recognize the 3com card (no eth0), I had attached to the ISP and the
default gateway was automatically set.  Any ideas?
