Hello,
-current did it. Thanks to those who pointed me in that direction. (SO
- if you want the ath AR5212 on the x40 - if that's the wifi card it
came with - to work "properly" updating to current helps.)
Did I miss something important ? What do you mean with working
"properly" since I have mine in use right now with 3.7 release.
The only thing is that I can only use 802.11b aka 11mbit.
Big Question:
Are you able to use 11g aka 54mbit in current ?
Did you use netboot or a usb device to install openbsd by the way ?
(not important I used an usb hd and it worked wonderfull).

Moin,
I couldn't connect to anything (even setting it at 802.11b / 11mbit) - I
tried around 40 variations of settings with ifconfig. After updating to
current it worked fine - the easy 'dhclient ath0' works like a charm.
I'm not sure about speeds, though. All of the networks I use are
802.11g, but because 802.11b devices float in and out, the connection
may fall back to b. I rarely transfer files via wifi anyway - i.e. I'm
only using it for a 3mbit internet connection - and it always works well.
Are you sure you have the AR5212 adapter? It is weird that it would
work with you and not me... (Machine build: 2386-8WU) This is also the
first OpenBSD w/ GUI/X that I've ever used (I have many "servers," but
none with X/xorg), so I'm busy working on learning my way around xorg
and not playing too much with the network stuff, since it "just works."
I did my install from a usb cd-rw drive and then from the UltraBase (x4)
- both also worked flawlessly. I guess in a word, this machine (other
than me not working on the Bluetooth - for which I don't have time, yet)
is "flawless."
I have 6 different laptops I use on a regular basis and that word rarely
comes to mind...
