Actually, the original issue was system-config-network not keeping static IP
information (IP, SM, NS, GW) or at least not throwing a warning.  I guess i
made it digress.

i can think of many meanings for a "routed subnet" - is it something you buy
from your ISP?

Actually, it is commercial cable and doable by other systems, so i am not
giving up.  i am going to start with studying "ip rules" as opposed to "ip
routes".  When the same IP configuration is on a laptop connected to both
wireless and Cat5 wired behind two different firewalls, they do not have
this problem.  Granted, these usually use dynamic connections and are not
providing critical services, but it works.  Why not for static
configurations and why doesn't system-config-network at least throw an
warning.
