[SLUG] irritating routing/dhcp issue SuSE...

Just installed SuSE on my laptop, I still have the same silly problem of
the default route not being added to the routing table, nor the nameservers
being passed to resolve.conf.

Here is the results of a route command and dhcpcd-test.
As you can see there is not default route:

RF-mobile:/home/kp4djt # 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 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

But if I do a dhcpcd-test I see that all of the needed info is there

RF-mobile:/home/kp4djt # dhcpcd-test eth1
dhcpcd: MAC address = 00:0e:35:99:d1:09
IPADDR=192.168.2.201
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<
DNS=65.32.1.65,65.32.1.70 <<<<<<<<<<<<<
DHCPSID=192.168.2.1
DHCPGIADDR=0.0.0.0
DHCPSIADDR=192.168.2.1
DHCPCHADDR=00:0E:35:99:D1:09
DHCPSHADDR=00:14:BF:79:E2:BB
DHCPSNAME=''
LEASETIME=86400
RENEWALTIME=43200
REBINDTIME=75600
INTERFACE='eth1'
CLASSID='Linux 2.6.13-15-default i686'
CLIENTID=00:0E:35:99:D1:09
RF-mobile:/home/kp4djt #

But if the silly thing is run using the wired NIC card all of it is picked up.
This is most irritating. I am trying to figure out if there is a permission
problem or what is going on. It did the same thing under 9.3 and previous.

I did a install on a desk top and it has the same problem. Sort of looks like
wireless is the tail of the dog.
