I have two very different laptops running OpenBSD 5.8 with all patches.

Both were connected to my home wireless via very simple hostname files:

nwid foo
wpakey bar
dhcp

Both stopped connecting today .......... no link (sleeping).
Both see the station via ifconfig xxxx scan with reasonable dB levels (>55dBm)
My mobile phone still connects to the station with the same credentials, as 
does my Kindle.

Of course this is ridiculous. I don't know enough to be dangerous on this one. 
Any tips?
