Thanks. As you suggested, I tried switching from dhcp to static ip, i.e, for
ifconfig I gave

#ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 nwid <nwid> nwkey <nwkey>
#more /etc/hostname.ath0
inet 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid <nwid> nwkey <nwkey>
#more /etc/gateway
192.168.1.1
#route flush
#sh /etc/netstart ath0

The wireless indicator turns green and then I am also able to issue a scan

#ifconfig ath0 scan

However, ping to any ip-addr other 192.168.1.3 doesn't work. No internet
connection :(

I expected wireless configuration on openbsd to be much simpler but
unfortunately I am not able to get past this :(
