wireless and/or routing question

[Waitman Gobble]

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)

Routing tables

I do not see "ath0' or wlan0 in the routing table under 'Netif', not sure
if that's the problem :)

i've tried /etc/rc.d/routing restart.. no worky :)

here's my wired connection ifconfig  --- wired connection works :)

any help/suggestions much appreciated!
