wicontrol(8) was obsoleted, all wireless configuration is done via ifconfig(4) now.. in fact, that utility was removed in OpenBSD 4.0.

The method of scanning for access points has gone through a couple variations.

OpenBSD <= 4.4:
$ sudo ifconfig int? -M

(..This shows a list of supported channels now, it doesn't scan for channels..)
OpenBSD == 4.4-CURRENT to early 4.5-BETA:
$ sudo ifconfig int? chan

OpenBSD >= 4.5-RELEASE:
$ sudo ifconfig int? scan

Hopefully this will clear things up, please read ifconfig(8) for more information and examples.. also read driver specific man pages as mentioned by ocicat.

Good luck..
