Please note -Dbsd is generally unnecessary, although probably not the
problem.
Below is a bit of sh that can be put into a script or run line by line
that should record most connection setup and connection into a log in
your home directory called "wifilog.txt" which you could upload if it's
still not working. As an added bonus, it should leave your connection
setup afterward (it's a modified version of a connection script I tend
to use).

run the following as root or under sudo:

echo "Setup log:" > ~/wifilog.txt
route -n flush &>> ~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig wlan0 destroy &>> ~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig ath0 down &>> ~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig ath0 up &>> ~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 &>>~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig wlan0 up scan &>> ~/wifilog.txt
sleep 2
ifconfig ath0 scan &>> ~/wifilog.txt
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B &>>~/wifilog.txt
sleep 5
dhclient wlan0 &>>~/wifilog.txt
echo "Connection info:" >> ~/wifilog.txt
netstat -rn &>>~/wifilog.txt
cat /etc/resolv.conf &>>~/wifilog.txt
ifconfig wlan0 &>>~/wifilog.txt
ping -t 3 4.4.4.4 &>>~/wifilog.txt
