I have read all about the WPA sub-system;  I've also setup my /boot/loader.conf

Except one small detail...

ifconfig ath0 up scan

never returns.

And when I do a:

ifconfig ath0

It tells me I don't have a carrier.

Let me repeat:

Then you need the entries in /etc/rc.conf
to create the wlan0 interface ...
wlans_ath0="wlan0"

After /etc/rc.d/netif runs, that is equivalent to

  ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0

Then use the wlan0 interface instead of ath0:

  ifconfig wlan0 up scan
