I have to go in and do a route add default gw.... It drops the gw I guess
when the lease is renewed ever 24 hours. This only happens when the
connection is wireless, if you are using a wired connection it works just
fine. It is irritating, but my fix is just to drop to a terminal session and
do a route, if I do not see a default gw I do the default gw thing.

I do not want to put it in there hardwired, because I take this thing on the
road, but it is a irritant.
