I'm in late on this
have you tried:
an /etc/rc.conf with
ifconfig_ath0=DHCP
and a /etc/dhclient.conf with something similar to
interface ath0 {
send dhcp-client-identifier YourHostName;
media ssid YourSSID mode 11b channel 11 wepmode on wepkey
0xKeyHERE;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
domain-name-servers, domain-name, time-servers;
}
(mind the word wrap)
