I ran into a very similar (maybe same) problem here:

I have not found a solution to my problem yet unfortunately. One
thing I noticed is that my an0 card worked just find in 3.7 and 3.8
broke it, you might want to verify if that is the case with you as
well.
Another thing I noticed is that the an0 card gets a dhcp address and
works properly during the initial install via cd or the ram disk off
of a floppy, but stops working upon first reboot.
I have noticed the exact same problem as the link above. Card worked
with OpenBSD 3.7. I did an upgrade from 3.7 -> 3.8 -> 3.9 following the
OpenBSD upgrade guides.
After the upgrade to 3.8, I also saw the error "an0: failed to enable
MAC", but wifi access still worked. After the upgrade to 3.9, I got the
following in my dmesg at startup:
an0 at pcmcia1 function 0 "Cisco Systems, 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter"
an0: record buffer is too small, rid=ff00, size=198, len=258
an0: read caps failed
an0: failed to attach controller
I also do not see the an0 device anymore with "ifconfig -a", probably
because of the "failed to attach controller" message.
I am unable to transfer a full dmesg from this laptop at the moment.
Wifi access was the only network connection...
The laptop itself is a Dell Latitude CPt (Celeron 330 Mhz, 256 RAM, 10
GB HD...) which closely resembles the laptop in the URL above.
Kind regards,
