I didn't do any of that. 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.
