Hi all,

I have recently upgraded from FreeBSD 10.2 to 11.0-RC2 and since then I =
cannot get defaultrouter to work in /etc/rc.conf

I'm setting up a static IP address on my wifi card like this in =
/etc/rc.conf

	wlans_ath0=3D"wlan0"
	ifconfig_wlan0=3D"wpa inet 192.168.1.169 netmask =
255.255.255.0=E2=80=9D

and I'm also setting a defaultrouter in /etc/rc.conf like this:

	defaultrouter=3D=E2=80=9C192.168.1.1"

This was working perfectly well in 10.2, but is not working in 11.0-RC2. =
After booting I get connected perfectly well tot he network, but the =
defaultrouter is not set:

	# netstat -rn
	Routing tables

	Internet:
	Destination        Gateway            Flags     Netif Expire
	127.0.0.1          link#2             UH          lo0
	192.168.1.0/24     link#3             U         wlan0
	192.168.1.169      link#3             UHS         lo0

I was wondering if someone could help addressing the problem. Is there =
any flag in 11.0 that modifies the defaultrouter behaviour? It this a =
known issue in 11.0-RC2?

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

P.S.:=20

While testing 11.0 with a boot disk, I noted that immediately after boot =
=E2=80=9Cath0=E2=80=9D did not get listed in ifconfig (re0, my ethernet =
card, did get listed). I could run =E2=80=9Cifconfig wlan0 create =
wlandev ath0=E2=80=9D to create wlan0, though.
