on a 2nd reading, i see from your ifconfig output that wlan0 is up. so
instead of "ifconfig wlan0 up" i think you need "ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ath0" (assuming your wireless nic is ath0), then "dhclient
wlan0".
that does it for me, anyway. i find it easiest to leave *all* my
wireless
commands out of rc.conf & run the 1st command given above once the system
is up.
hope this helps.

in 8.0 you need to use wlan0 as your wireless interface. are you
doing that?
so you need "ifconfig wlan0 up" & either "ifconfig wlan0 w.x.y.z" or
"dhclient wlan0".

I have looked in the handbook and searched the net and tried what I
found and still no go.
I am trying to connect to open access points around me that a
windows machine has no problem using.
Any help is appreciated.
