Wireless network DHCP doesn't retrieve gateway

So I seem to have a problem lately.  I have an ipaq 3970 and a SanDisk ConnectPlus wireless card.  It seems to connect fine with networks, and even gets an IP address via DHCP, but never seems to set the gateway when connecting to a network, thus I can communicate with any machine on the local network, but can't get to the internet. 

 

Cant generate a log right now, as there aren't any wireless networks where I'm at (I'm using Bluetooth networking at the moment, which seems to work just fine using DHCP), but can get one when I get home this evening. 

 

Does anyone have any idea why this would be?  it makes using hotspots pretty difficult, as I have to DHCP to find out the subnet and IP address, then hope nobody grabs that address as I manually set it up using the same IP and guessing the gateway (usually the .1 address works as a gateway in most cases).

 

Thanks,
