Re: patch for dhclient-script

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.
