Ok... looks like add route default got it to work. Thanks a ton.

Hi,
I have an SMC PCMCIA wireless adapter, model SMCWCB-G, based on an
Atheros 5212 chipset, in a laptop running a fresh install of FreeBSD
6.0-RC1.
The card associates fine, but then fails to send any IP packets in
the air, or at least that's what I presume is going on. I cannot
ping the AP, I cannot get a lease using DHCP, basically the only
thing I can do is associate. I think it does associate because when
I set an invalid wep key, t# Wireless NIC cards
I type in:
# ifconfig ath0 channel 7 ssid gibsons wepmode on
# ifconfig ath0 weptxkey *****etc.
# ifconfig ath0 up
# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.107.15
# ping 192.168.107.1
I am unable to ping my router. (linksys bewfs42)
It seems like i'm missing something really simple here...anyone able to
help point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Maybe deftxkey needs to be set?
Tried it...I think i've tried almost every combination of weptxkey and
deftxkey and starting up things in different orders... However, when I
disabled WEP on my router I can connect to my router and get an IP, but
no internet.
When you ping, do you see "ping: sendto: Host is down" errors or "ping:
sendto: No route to host" errors, or just nothing at all from ping?
If it's either of the latter two options, then perhaps setting a default
route (route add default 192.168.107.1) is what you need.
