What kind of misconfiguration according to you, I might be having,
hmm...? There're no ACLs set in my wireless router, nor any IP addresses
are bound with any MAC address. I've disabled my 'rl0' and 'pf' in my
rc.conf and rebooted, but I'm still not able to get it working. I'm
pasting my rc.conf and sysctl output of '*.ath.*' variables. Do you
suspect anything wrong there ? Any tweaks ? Anything else do you
recommend me, hmm...?

I've Gentoo GNU/Linux also installed on the same notebook, and that
boots and connects to wireless network just fine with HAL 0.10.5.6 with
WPA2 enabled. Any debugging information from that OS, I can provide, hmm...?

TIA
