The RnR is just a broadcast frame generated from hostap.

The first thing I'd do is start by verifying that the packet actually
went out over the air.

Put one of the atheros stations into monitor mode, then tcpdump -ni
wlanX -y IEEE802_11_RADIO.
If you run wireshark on FreeBSD as root, you can select the 802.11
capture format and it'll do that for you.
That lets you see exactly what's going on. However, it only can
decrypt frames sent to itself - so either you have to be running WEP
or OPEN. WPA /WPA2 won't let you see frames destined to other
stations.

I'd also add "options ATH_DEBUG", AH_DEBUG and ATH_DIAGAPI to the
kernel, so you can do more detailed debugging.

I'd also use athstats to see if your station is receiving the DHCP
replies. The "Rx" counter should be going up each time the server
sends the response.
