Yes, that's right. I looked up OpenBSD recently, discovered it now has WPA support, and installed 4.4 with some anticipation - only to discover that ath(4) did not support WPA. Then I read in a recent mailing list post that WPA support had been added to that driver, so I installed the latest 4.5 snapshot, and now I'm connected.

I like how WPA and the key are configured via ifconfig, by the way. Very simple and elegant.
