[Bug 1667296] [NEW] Default Gateway not set during installation if suggested value is accepted

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Description/Reproduction:
Installation was performed using a minimal Parmfile (ro locale=C). During the "network quiz" after entering IP address and Subnet mask, you are asked for the default gateway. If you confirm the correctly suggested value, the default gateway is not set. The result is that you cannot start the installer via SSH because the machine is not reachable. 
Going into a shell and using the route command, you can see that there's no default gateway.

If you enter the default gateway during network configuration manually,
the gateway is set correctly and installation can be completed.
