I know. All the more strange. I just went through the steps again (use
dhcp with the network gui, save settings, stop/start network) and here's
the results:

5) root:~> route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
24.35.40.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.248.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
6) root:~> more /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=phoenix
7) root:~> more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
HWADDR=00:03:6d:13:71:91
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes

DHCP_HOSTNAME=phoenix
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
IPV6INIT=no

The same info is in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and profile.
So perhaps the save in the network gui doesn't work properly. Still...

14) root:~> /sbin/ifconfig eth0

Very very weird. I did get an address via dhcp, no default route in the
routing table, while the network scripts insist on setting a private
address, dating back from when I was going out through the router.
