Try using the route command. When run on my personal machine, it looks
like the following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.xyz.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.xyz.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
As for why it's not doing it by default... I would start by double
checking that you have the correct module listed in /etc/modules, then
check your /etc/network/interfaces file. Below is a copy of my
interfaces file: (Be sure to note the "auto" line.)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.xyz.xyz
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.xyz.0
broadcast 192.168.35.255
gateway 192.168.xyz.1
For dynamic addresses, replace "static" and all the lines following with
"dhcp" (or "pump" if you're using that, I believe).
If everything there looks good, check your /etc/init.d/networking script,
as well as the symlink to it from /etc/rc2.d/ (Assuming you've booted
into the normal runlevel 2.)
Once my config files are setup properly, I just run
/etc/init.d/networking to get it to use the proper ip, netmask and
gateway, etc.

Jacob
