Default ifconfig athn0

Two hours i trying to configure wireless interface without dhcp.

After adding two nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf i create /etc/mygate with ip address of router. With hostname.athn0 in etc nothing is happening.

Code:
ifconfig athn0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 nwid myssid wpa wpapsk 'password'
After this command network status is active, but when ping some ip i get the message "no route to host".

What I missed?

With the information provided, the only thing I see in error is the use of "wpapsk". You should be using "wpakey" instead, if you are using OpenBSD 5.0 as you mentioned in your earlier thread. Please see the ifconfig(8) man page. WPA key configuration has been simplified in OpenBSD within the last two years; "wpapsk" has not been used since 4.8. If you have been directed to use "wpapsk" you are using outdated information.

Here is a description of the change in WPA management from the OpenBSD Upgrade Guide for 4.9:
Quote:
WPA configuration changes:
wpa-psk(8) is no longer used because wpakey support is now built directly into ifconfig(8). Inspect your /etc/hostname.* files for wireless devices using WPA and replace:
nwid myssid wpapsk `wpa-psk myssid wpapassword`
with the simpler form:
nwid myssid wpakey wpapassword
Please avoid using third party "how to" documents you find on the Internet, if that was the source of your "wpapsk" directive. They are often not kept up to date, and are regularly found to be incomplete, misleading, or incorrect.

Yes, OpenBSD 5.0 is on machine. I found that description and enable dhcp on router, after that i test first command and command with wpakey and both commands work.
But without dhcp when try to ping someone message is "no route to host".

Editing the hostname.if file is not enough. Run netstart aswell to setup default routes etc.
Code:
$ sudo sh /etc/netstart
If you have been doing that already, check your current routing table to see if the route is there.
Code:
$ route show -inet
If not, its probably a pf issue.

Static configuration requires a default route, at minimum.

Create an /etc/mygate file, per FAQ 6.2.2 and the mygate(5) man page.

I found a mistake in /etc/hostname.if none -> NONE.

If someone needs the following command:
Code:
inet machineip netmask NONE nwid ssid wpakey 'password'
Thanks friends!
