This device still does not work on my main system, but it works without complaint on this ancient system. I will look into this further and post more info and also the dmesg for the working system.
I suppose delaying the firmware loading would not be as big an issue on an older and slower system?

So I took a look at the CVSweb entry for if_athn_usb.c, and found a number of changes added this year. Based on all this it seemed worth giving my NETGEAR WNA1100 USB device another try.
On the laptop (AMD E350) running OpenBSD -release 5.7 amd64, the story is the same, firmware wouldn't load.
I then tried on a P4 machine running OpenBSD -release 5.7 i386. Here the firmware loaded fine, and in a brief test I had some success using it. So it looks like there has been progress. Following is a dmesg for this machine:
