Hello! I have posted thread before regarding this problem but I marked it as solved and thought I could start a new one because the last one died and I thought I'd make a better job summarising the problem.
The thing is: I have a working wireless Internet connection on interface wlans_ath0="wlan0" and as soon as I put an alias for it in /etc/rc.conf I lose the connection to my router. Also when I ping it the result is: "Network is down". I can make alias with the command:
Then, if I change my /etc/rc.conf into this:
The new result after
Now when I ping the router it is:
No other things are changed except that I add the alias to /etc/rc.conf.
What am I doing wrong or missing? :/
Please help.
