That script gets written when I save the settings in system-config-network. And all I do there is tell it to get the IP automatically through dhcp. Before, I was using a linksys router (192.168.1.1) and I gave myself a static private IP (192.168.1.10), but not now. Now, I'm trying to get the IP through dhcp, and (1) the script is wrong and (2) even though the script is still trying to use the old settings, I AM getting a real IP address (but no default gateway). It's beyond my understanding.
