I'm trying to get D-Link DWA-160 rev. A1 usb wifi adapter working with  
latest OpenBSD snapshot (2014/07/06).  It seems to me that there's a 
problem with otus(4).

dmesg:
otus0 at uhub1 port 7 "ATHER USB2.0 WLAN" rev 2.00/1.07 addr 2
otus0: MAC/BBP AR9170, RF AR9104, MIMO 2T2R, address 00:22:b0:57:fc:dc

ifconfig otus0 scan doesn't yield any result.

# ifconfig otus0 scan
otus0: flags=28802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:22:b0:57:fc:dc
        priority: 4
        groups: wlan
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
        status: no network
        ieee80211: nwid ""
	        none
