Okay, I've found this out. The gatway and routes are all fine. The
problem comes when I looked in /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/net. It's
empty... except for the dummy driver. Also, lsmod is empty. I'm lead
to believe this is from my compiling the kernel and make
modules_install. I missed something in there, so I'm going through it
again. Hopefully that'll take care of it.
Thanks for the help.
