True, esp. since it lists the nets and apparently can talk to DHCP server;
getting "sendto: Host is down" is very strange. I will try again at home
or some cafe.

OK, running the following loop toggles LED on and off for a second:
sysctl dev.ath.0.ledpin=1
while :; do
sysctl dev.ath.0.ledon=1
sysctl dev.ath.0.softled=0
sysctl dev.ath.0.softled=1
sleep 1
sysctl dev.ath.0.ledon=0
sysctl dev.ath.0.softled=0
sysctl dev.ath.0.softled=1
sleep 1
done
I got confused in the beginning, because it was not obvious that actually
both softled=0 and softled=1 commands are required after each ledon change.
When I changed the pin (0 -> 1) and set LED to off, the card started to
show some activity, looking sane. So it looks like it generally DTRT, but
needs to be told which pin to use. Any hint I can put in /boot/loader.conf
for that, or I have to patch the driver?

I didn't imply "broken wireless stack and/or drivers". It took quite a
long time (almost three minutes) and several presses of power button, all
accompanied with weird screen artifacts, to get laptop back to life. Some
relevant messages:
pcib0: failed to set ACPI power state D2 on \134_SB_.PCI0: AE_BAD_PARAMETER
acpi0: cleared fixed power button status
error: [drm:pid1651:intel_lvds_enable] *ERROR* timed out waiting for panel to power off
uhci_interrupt: host system error
uhci_interrupt: host controller process error
wakeup from sleeping state (slept 00:02:52)
On stable/8 resume is nearly instant (around one second to get myself back
to X11 with keyboard and mouse working).

Yes, I will probably do something like that. Thanks Adrian!
