One thing you could do is adding 'debug' to your hostname.athn0 file, or running 'ifconfig athn0 debug', and then trying to connect. This should make debug messages appear in dmesg and /var/log/messages, which might contain clues. Perhaps the problem has already been fixed in -current? To verify this you could boot a -current bsd.rd kernel and check if the interface works with it (choose 'shell' at the initial prompt, then configure the interface manually with ifconfig, and run 'dhclient athn0').
