Freshly booted system:
Unplugging fxp0
route -n flush -inet
arp -a -d
inserting ath0
netstat -r says

So that seems to work, dhclient is released from fxp0 and the default route is
permanently deleted. However, now one needs to restart dhclient on fxp0, when
it is supposed to come up again. Without the "delete" option dhclient took
care of fxp0 automatically. Jesus, this isn't the wireless plug 'n play I was
hoping to see in FreeBSD 6 :-). All one should need to do ist setting up
wireless networks in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and make entries in rc.conf
like
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
removable_interfaces="ath0"
And whenever there is a wireless network available (where the system can log
in an get a network connection) the default route should be switched to that
wireless nic. Or even better, if both connections work, automatically choose
the faster one :-).
