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.

ATU(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    ATU(4)

NAME
atu -- Atmel at76c50x 802.11B wireless network interfaces SYNOPSIS
atu* at uhub? port ? DESCRIPTION
The atu driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around the Atmel at76c503, at76c503a, at76c505, and at76c505a USB chipsets. Supported features include 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, IBSS, ad-hoc, and host-based access point mode. The atu driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames, however it can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames. Transmit speed is selectable between 1Mbps fixed, 2Mbps fixed, 2Mbps with auto fallback, 5.5Mbps, 8Mbps, or 11Mbps depending on your hardware. Four different radio chipsets are used along with the device, each requiring a different firmware. By default, the atu driver configures the card for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the use of an access point (base station). For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). The following devices are among those supported by the atu driver: Acer Peripherals AWL400 AcerP AWL-300 Aincomm AWU2000B Atmel 2662W-V4 Atmel BW002 Atmel DWL-120 Atmel WL-1330 Belkin F5D6050 Geowave GW-US11S Linksys WUSB11 Linksys WUSB11-V28 Ovislink AirLive SMC 2662W-AR SEE ALSO
arp(4), ifmedia(4), intro(4), netintro(4), usb(4), ifconfig(8), wiconfig(8) AUTHORS
The atu driver was written by Daan Vreeken and ported to OpenBSD by Theo de Raadt and David Gwynne. The OpenBSD driver was then ported to NetBSD by Jesse Off <joff@NetBSD.org>. BSD
