Your interface only has an IPv6 address. Is that expected? How
are you bringing up the an0 interface?
For instance, my /root/netstart-home.sh script contains (among a
few other things):
# Default setup for my bge0 interface.
export ifconfig_ath0="DHCP ssid 'XXXX' \
wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'"
/etc/rc.d/netif stop bge0
/etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
/etc/rc.d/netif start ath0
This seems to take care of everything here.
