As far as I can tell, this is the first time OpenBSD has supported WPA with Atheros wireless chipsets, so for me at least, OpenBSD just got usable (on real hardware)!
OpenBSD has been supporting WPA almost a year now. I had it working on ral driver. Are you saying that it didn't work on Atheros before? If I remember correctly WPA was supported on lots of wireless drivers but not all.

Which means I can't get any battery monitors (klaptop, gkrellm etc.) to work. Is it worth me looking for a fix or workaround, or is this probably a permanent case of OpenBSD and ACPI/APM just not getting along?
I have ACPI and APM working perfectly on DeLL Latitude D830 (Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD) running 4.4 bsd.mp generic kernel. It is in my office so I can not send you dmesg right now.

ACPM and APM work almost perfectly on my ThinkPad A20p. The only problem I noticed is that it hangs if you try to power of by typing
Code:
shutdown -hp now
It is similar situation on my ancient ThinkPad 390E.
In all tree cases battery monitor works perfectly. I rarely or never use hibernation mode so I really
can not tell you if it works from the top of my head.
