You are extremely lazy. |

thx for all answer

I imagine your experience with wireless networking will be smoother than mine: You are actually using a stable driver (Atheros) on a stable system (7.0-RELEASE), but wireless networking can be a sticky business, so make sure to come back and ask us if you run into any roadblocks.

short version:
/etc/rc.conf Code:
defaultrouter="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" hostname="dixie" ifconfig_ath0="ssid YourSSID WPA DHCP" # if using dhcp Code:
network={ ssid="YourSSID" scan_ssid=1 psk="YourPSK" } Code:
# reboot ... long version: rtfm about the options available and the link forneus posted -- it is a good one and should have been your first stop when looking for information ;-). between the manual pages and that link, it also explains what the bleeding heck is going on with the above.

And if you have DHCP you probably won't need "defaultrouter" as well.

I just want to hijack this thread really quick.
A default route is associated with an Interface. If i have my wired connection plugged while trying to access the net using the wireless it won't find a way out. Is this just a matter of adding another default route for the wireless interface, or is it more complicated?

Go hijack your own thread!
Oh, and it is a matter of changing your default route to point to the router on the wireless interface. A default route is set to a host (the router) on a local network. That host has an arp record that attaches it to an interface. # route add default 192.168.1.1 To make your changes more permanent, you will have to work out how you are getting the default route setting currently, and fix that. Oh, and if you have more questions, post a new thread asking your question. Thread hijacking won't get your question answered any faster.
