Hi, I am having trouble connecting to a wireless router with my
Atheros WIFI card. (PCI)

Running OpenBSD/AMD64 Current MP. (On current kernel supports my ath card.)

dmesg can be found at http://www.sunnz.net/dmesg.txt
(Tell me if you like an attachment instead)

I have not yet made hostname.ath0, ifconfig (ath) itself does not seem to work.

After boot up, log in, first thing I do is:

# ifconfig ath0 nwid 624wn up;

But when I check out if there is any connection (# ifconfig ath0):
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:0f:b5:4f:3f:42
        groups: wlan
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
        status: no network
        ieee80211: nwid 624w
        inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe4f:3f42%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

No network?

I have been told to scan using # ifconfig -M ath0:
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
       lladdr 00:0f:b5:4f:3f:42
       groups: wlan
       media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
       status: no network
       ieee80211: nwid 624w
               nwid pokgai chan 9 bssid 00:09:5b:d6:1c:1a 57% 54M
privacy,short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime
               nwid Wireless chan 11 bssid 00:0f:b5:d9:8f:14 14% 54M
short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime
               nwid 624wn chan 1 bssid 00:60:b3:5e:86:61 34% 54M
short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime
       inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe4f:3f42%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

So my router is there: 624wn. BTW, the router is completely "open", no
WEP, no WPA, no encryption. It is running DHCP server.

So I even tried # dhclient ath0:
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

So... I am stuck.
