Hi,

thanks a lot, works great. However when deactivating my ath card sometimes
freebsd doesn't renew dhclient for fxp0. So the system stays disconnected.
Any   idea? As far as I understand it, dhlcient only gets restarted, when
ath0 is comming up, not when it is going down. So the default routes stay
on ath0, even if it's not present any more...
