Just a remark, in /etc/horname.if you don't write the 'up' keyword. Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong. Once the card is configured, can you post a ifconfig -a output? First, remove hostname.ath?, reboot and try to configure only with ifconfig, if there's an error, ifconfig should say something. You can monitor the DHCP requests with tcpdump. Is the access point filtering mac adresses?
