[d-i 20040801 floppy] network conf with dhcp does not set default route

["paul" <paul@paubo.de>]

Hi all,

installing on my ibm560x laptop with ethernet pc-card the dhcp network 
configuration fails at setting default route. 

Installation media are floppies boot.img, root.img, net-drivers.img 
from:
http://ftp.debian.de/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/20040801/images/floppy/

Local network is behind dsl-router (Netgear WGR614 ). 

(1) When using the WGR614 (172.16.1.1) as dhcp server:
Choosing 'configure the network' and then 'autoconfigure network with dhcp' 
it says that 'network autoconfiguration was successful. However, no default 
route was set'. From the shell I can see that the /etc/resolv.conf is not 
existing as well as a 'route add default gw 172.16.1.1' is missing.
The /var/lib/dhclient.leases from the WGR614 reads:
------------------------------------------------------------------
lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 172.16.1.2;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option routers 172.16.1.1;
  option domain-name-servers 217.237.151.97,194.25.2.129;
  option interface-mtu 0;
  option dhcp-lease-time 259200;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 172.16.1.1;
  renew 4 2004/8/13 01:18:10;
  rebind 6 2004/8/14 04:18:10;
  expire 6 2004/8/14 13:18:10;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) When using my other debian linux box (172.16.1.10) as dhcp server 
the network autoconfiguration with dhcp works just fine with the 
/var/lib/dhclient.leases reading:
------------------------------------------------------------------
lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 172.16.1.2;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option routers 172.16.1.1;
  option domain-name-servers 217.237.151.97,194.25.2.129;
  option domain-name "home";
  option dhcp-lease-time 600;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 172.16.1.10;
  renew 4 2004/8/11 13:28:54;
  rebind 6 2004/8/11 13:32:39;
  expire 6 2004/8/11 13:33:54;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

Why does the lease from (1) not work? Why is the resolv.conf not written?

Best regards,
Paul
