One thing that has seemed opaque to me is that both ath0 and wlan0 display when I run ifconfig and look very similar: makes me think they might be stepping on each other. Or it's just one more thing I don't understand :-(

In 8.x, a virtual wlan0 device is created to speak to the actual device, ath0 in this case. It's normal. See wlan(4) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html.
