forever

when down, it looks like

# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:05:4e:48:ce:66

        status: no carrier
        ssid nanog-arin channel 40
        authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 28 bintval 100

kill dhclient and it looks like
