My phone's WiFi hotspot (Motorola Milestone / CyanogenMod 6) works perfectly, though. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to reporting this properly yet.

Matt and I both had trouble with the ath(4) driver at NYCBSDCon - it
was a bug in WPA2 support.  It may be a similar problem, in which case
sysctl net.wlan.force_swcrypto=1 may help.

If the original poster was running as a newly created user rather than
root, that may be why.  I don't think the default GUI config is added
to new user profiles; just the root one present at install.
