This is not the only problem, The gateway isn't being automatically setup either. I have to run "route add defualt (IP)". this seems like a global problem but where can i start.

Remember to have something like the following in your /etc/rc.conf:

auto_ifconfig=YES

or

auto_ifconfig=NO
net_interfaces='rtk0'

I myself use the latter. Without it I doubt the creation
of the file ifconfig.rtk0 helps much, not sure though. If
it doesn't work, check your rc.conf ;)
