Opensuse 11 Keeps Losing Defaultroute?

Ok...I installed Opensuse 11 and it looks wonderful...one issue which is driving me batty.....I am attempting to share my wifi connection with the rest of the house...I'm using knetworkmanager and logging onto the wifi..sharing is enabled...and the defaultroute doesn't get established...so I set "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" and within 20 mins it goes away...I set it again....rinse, lather, repeat.....I'm about to give up on networkmanager because of this and go back to the old ifup scripts....anyone have any clues? I even disabled dhcp and hardcoded an ip thinking maybe that dhcp was "overlaying" the defaultroute.


*update* I finally just went back to ifup scripts and everything works like it's supposed to.
