Well, if it is the same problem that I was seeing last night, it may
be because you didn't specify a media option.

ifconfig wi0 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap channel 14 ssid \
	 UncleGrumpy debug up

is what I use.  You likely don't want the debug flags set.  I picked
channel 14 on purpose because it isn't valid in my regulatory domain
:-).  Pick one that is valid for your domain.
