Yes, i did try ath(4) man
here I am using a fake key but in the same format I am using.
the ap is named 2xThink

sudo ifconfig ath0 nwid 2xThink wpa wpapsk \
`wpa-psk 2xThink 0xf6fbd924161fe9aaa0fe4d5b3a9ab085ddc34fd6f674c876 7d381a6afe0e756`

wpa-psk: passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters
ifconfig: wpapsk: bad pre-shared key length


The damned key is 63 characters
