# This is loader.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can
# set to change the default load behavior of your system. You should
# not edit this file! Put any overrides into one of the
# loader_conf_files instead and you will be able to update these
# defaults later without spamming your local configuration information.

If your wireless network has a dhcp-server and you get your parameters dynamicly when connecting, just add this line into your /etc/rc.conf file:
ifconfig_ath0="DHCP"

And if you specify parameters by yourself, add this lines:
defaultrouter=""
ifconfig_ath0="ssid inet netmask "

and to your /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver

And that's it, you would not need to do anything manually anymore.
