GATEWAY is a bash variable - so whoever sets it last wins. I would
recommend putting it in /etc/sysconfig/network .. I would also make sure
that there are no files in /etc/sysconfig/networking or in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default .. these get read after the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files .. and as I mentioned before -
whoever sets it last, wins.
