A man page like ifconfig's tells you all sorts of things. There is no WPA available on OpenBSD at this point, it's half-implmented, wpa_supplicant is in the ports tree, but only works on wired connections.

The OpenBSD Reference may help you if you cannot read man pages, but really, if you're not reading man pages, you should really be running something else.
