Jeff;

Did you try loading the ath driver?

       kldload if_ath

If your IP is dynamically assigned then do (as root);

       dhclient ath0

If this works then you can have it happen automatically when you boot by 
adding "if_ath_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf and adding 
"ifconfig_ath="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf.
