Well, aside from doing that, I also didn't scan first now, nor declare it up. 
And then it works, allthough I can't ping the router (freebsd hostap with 
atheros card - confirmed working with another machine). tcpdump shows arp 
requests being sent but no reply being received:

000000 arp who-has router.rachie.is-a-geek.net tell 
laptop.rachie.is-a-geek.net

Not sure what the cause of that is.
