Hiya montmarte.
First off I'm a noob myself and I also don't use wireless on OpenBSD. :]
Still here's a couple of things.
I'm sure at some point you'll find out the OpenBSD man pages are
excellent, I think it can be helpful to specify which man pages you're
reading (it lets people know you are reading the right ones). If you
do have a driver issue, or anything remotely hardware related, append
a dmesg to the bottom of your mail. In this case it might provide a
clue about em0 and also make sure ath0 is correct.
Have you read ath(4) - especially HARDWARE?
Ditto hostname.if(5)?
Ditto ifconfig(8) - especially nw* versus wpa*?
I find when working out something new it can help to simplify the
methodology in the interim. In this case maybe you could configure a
static IP on your access point and set this in your hostname.if(5).
Make sure pf is out of the way - pf is on by default in OpenBSD.
>From memory an empty pf.conf will do it.
I wouldn't worry about BIND, unless wireless land has changed since I
used it you won't need to worry about naming to get IP connectivity.
Further your resolv.conf(.tail) doesn't look right:
lookup file bind
nameserver: 127.0.0.1
The keywork lookup tells the resolver to use your host file first and
then named.
Having a nameserver address as a loopback is presumably to do lookups
with named? See the redundancy there?
If you use BIND (named) then a nameserver is a fallback and could
point to your ISP nameservers for example. See resolv.conf(5).
No doubt someone will come along and help you out better at some point
but perhaps you could simplify for the moment, provide some answers:
Are you using WEP or WPA?
Where does em0 intend to go (was it only a fallback for ath0 not
working and did you plug it into the same router)?
Is your router configured correctly?
Best wishes.
