You should erases what is in red.
/etc/rc.conf
Code: 
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Sep 26 00:20:28 2010
# Created: Sun Sep 26 00:20:28 2010
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
hostname="GhostBSD.GhostBSD"
ifconfig_bfe0="DHCP"
[color="red"]ifconfig_ath0="DHCP"[/color]
ipv6_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
saver="daemon"
sshd_enable="YES"
[color="Red"]hald_enable="YES"[/color]
[color="Red"]dbus_enable"YES"
gdm_enable"YES"[/color]
gnome_enable"YES"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
[color="Red"]defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"[/color]

If you put
Code: 
gnome_enable="YES"
you don't need gdm hald dbus in rc.conf.
/boot/loader.conf
Code: 
hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
if_ath_load="YES"
[color="Red"]if_wi_load="YES"
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
Wlan_wep_load="YES"
Wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"[/color]

You can try those driver.
Code: 
if_alc_load="YES"		# Atheros AR8131/AR8132 Ethernet
if_ale_load="YES"		# Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Ethernet
If ath dont work.
 
wblock I am using an open network why would I need to set up WPA. I share my network with my neighbors, or am I missing something here
