Your interface only has an IPv6 address.  Is that expected?  How
are you bringing up the an0 interface?

For instance, my /root/netstart-home.sh script contains (among a
few other things):

    # Default setup for my bge0 interface.
    export ifconfig_ath0="DHCP ssid 'XXXX' \
               wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'"

    /etc/rc.d/netif stop bge0
    /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
    /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0

This seems to take care of everything here.
