Well, the bad news is that NetworkManager needs to stay disabled.  The
good news is that handling things manually worked well.  As root I did a
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 \
-c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf &
dhclient ath0

This negotiated the attachment to the router and got me a dhcp lease.
The entry in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf looked like:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
	ssid="routerssid"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	psk="My preshared key"
	}


And, of course, you can have multiple network entries in the file.
