As far as I know OpenBSD has no standard way to deal with this, but
what I do is make an /etc/wifi directory, in which I place a bunch of
scripts in hostname.if(5) format (call them e.g. /etc/wifi/home,
/etc/wifi/office) and then when I need to switch networks I use
something like this script:
#!/bin/sh
#net.sh #change name as desired
IF=ath0
ln -sf /etc/wifi/$1 /etc/hostname.${IF}
sudo sh /etc/netstart
and call it as
$net home
-Nick
