output from 'ifconfig ath0':

when 'ifconfig ath0 authmode wpa' :
ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_xauth module by hand for now.
ifcondif: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

i tried to 'kldload wlan_xauth' then 'ifconfig ath0 authmode wpa': (i don't
know if this is necessary)
then 'ifconfig ath0' :

ath0: flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu

         ether "00:19:7d:be:8c:65
