Don't you also have to add ath0 to removable_interfaces in
/etc/rc.conf?

On a related note, setting the ssid, the wireless net I use is Alerce
Wireless, which I double quote on the command line, in
/etc/start_if.wi0, and historically in dhclient.conf.  I can't seem to
find a way to escape it in the /etc/rc.conf line that doesn't just end
up with the ssid being "Alerce \"Alerce or ''Alerce or.....  (on
-CURRENT as of a few days ago).

Thanks,
