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)
