I did test an OpenBSD 11g-only device against my 11n AP. It worked. We always have compat with 11a/b/g enabled. There is no way to make OpenBSD run as 11n-only as far as I know. Perhaps your 11g device does not support WPA2? Try again after 'ifconfig athn0 wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2', and understand that running this command means your AP is using broken crypto. Regarding your second question, yes, athn(4) does support power saving.
