So, I installed NetBSD on an old Inspiron N4110 but I'm struggling to get it to connect to wifi

The adapter (Atheros AR9285; 168C:002B) seems to be detected well as athn0 but when I try to `wpa_cli scan` it shows no network, when there should be a couple around

How do I convince it to correctly scan and connect to the network I have? :cirnothinking:
