This is post the -current fix with athn(4) power saving. Without it Android devices don't really work at all, with it they work for a bit and then stop working claiming the access point isn't within range. It's a problem that's not specific to OpenBSD - some access points suffer the same issue, but I've not seen a definite solution so far.
