jp, thanx for the quick reply...
...From what I can gather from your post, it seems that you want to be able to use your wired LAN connection at home, but the default route won't stick on reboot.
that seems to be it???
...I'm assuming that your DSL router is 192.168.1.1.
the Checkpoint FW is 192.168.1.1; the DSL (bridged ethernet) is 192.168.1.254.
...Do you get an IP address on eth0 when you reboot?
No, not unitl I run dhcpcd -k/-n. (no UG in the route output either).
=======================
since posting, i made a change (of course),
i renamed the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-nnn files and re-ran YaST2 as above...
this created a new /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-nnn for the eth0 (WLAN off)...
2 reboots - LAN ip and route config'd automatically on reboot...
=======================
seems there is some interaction w/ two net cards / eth0 (LAN) & ath0 (WLAN)
config'd via YaST2 that i'd love to understand...
=======================
here's the latest...(after change noted above since previous post)

philosphically, i'd get more people to convert from m$ to lx
if i could do most, if not all from the gui configs...
i.e., m$ makes setting up simple... but nothing works
v. lx which setting up can be a chore v. everything works going forward...
i'll note the shell changes because i did not know where to insert that...
my at&t unix days are a little rusty ;(
thanx for any further feedback.
