From what you've said it's possible to assume you have two ifconfig_ath0= lines in rc.conf, and I don't think that would work. The latter would replace, not augment, the former. I get "ath0: association failed (reason 12) for > 00:0f:66:02..." flash on my screen one right after another. And when I > do ifconfig, it shows no IP address NOR the ssid I set.
