Hello,
I am running 9.0-RC3 i386 on an Acer Aspire One D150. i am having trouble
with the wireless setup.
I have two wireless cards, the BCM94312MCG that came with it, and an
Atheros 5424/2424 that i swapped out. I can run the BCM with ndis and the
windows xp driver, and the Atheros with the ath driver that is installed
with FreeBSD. (But BCM/ndis is noticeably much slower, Atheros - no green
"wireless" light appears on netbook )
i am getting the same results with either nic card, and i think i am just
missing something simple.

My machine shows up on the wireless router as a "connected device" w/
correct mac and ip showing
But i cannot ping gw, no machine on lan or outside. (no route to host)

any help/suggestions much appreciated!
The solution is simple, but I know the frustration well.
Your problem is that the route is looking to go through your wired
network port, you started the network on the wired and then switched to
wifi so the routing needs to change.
Run as root: "route change default -interface wlan0" will fix that
temporarily. To fix it permanently (better for a laptop situation
anyway, I feel), setup a lagg port including ale0 and wlan0. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html
Good luck and happy networking!
