Maybe OpenBSD does not support hostap mode with your adapter properly or your adapter sets some strange hardware modes.
|
The hostap mode is supported on the atheros (5212) chipset, it was both my iwi and iwn that do not support it

Oh maybe you have enable auto-power down or auto sleep? I've read somewhere that my adapter doesn't support that correctly.

Correct those chipset do not fare well with power savings at all, i was trying to connect from my IPod touch, and another notebook, both same HAL error.
I was researching the ral and rum and those both do support what i am after, unfortunitly i do not have one of those chipsets, i have a Linksys wireless N (not supported by OpenBSD) that ima looking to trade off, also a couple other PCMCIA adaptors.

It's more an issue what kind of traffic my firewall blocks or does not forward

Have you tried "set skip on rum0" in your pf.conf file? I use the following to nat on all non $EXT interfaces, not sure what your pf.conf looks like but those packets are being passed in;
Code:
nat on $EXT from !$EXT:network to any -> ($EXT)
I did not get past the entering the password for the wifi network, it failed and dumped "ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3633410968" to dmesg every time
