I also had to disable WME on my ath(4) interface to get the AP to stop
freaking out.

Don't know if mine did or not, but I only had to disable it on the
ath(4) interface to solve my problem.

I also had to enable SSID broadcasting on my AP to get this setup to
work. I didn't leave scan_ssid=1 in my .conf file, so I don't know what
effect it had.

It's in /usr/src/tools/tools/ath. It's been very useful for me.
You might also try 'ifconfig ath0 list scan' while wpa_supplicant is
running and with SSID broadcasting turned _off_ on the AP. I'd be
curious to see if you have the same problem that I had. (An empty SSID
string.)
Hope that helps.
