With some AP I had to set net.wlan.force_swcrypto=1 for ath(4) to connect properly.
Could be worth a try.

Thank you Johannes, I've tried:
lap# sysctl net.wlan.force_swcrypto=1
net.wlan.force_swcrypto: 0 -> 1
lap# ifconfig wlan0

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
It seems not resolve, sorry.

That DHCPNAK line in the output is the wireless base station saying "no, I don't want to give you an IP address." Can you try a different wireless AP?

Hi Justin,
in this hotel I see three access points: the only one that answer to wpa_supplicant seems only the my floor's one, while
with iPad I'm able to connect to each of them.
It's strange, I've tried also to set dfbsd laptop MAC address with the same of my iPad but I've not got any new result.
In attachment there is the tcpdump file of the dhclient wlan0 session:

You really need to use your own dhcp server, or at least with known setup, for testing:
a dhcp server can use any information that it has to decide if lease shall be offered or not,
so if you don't know dhcp server setup, test is not saying much about client.
We have a (silly IMO) example in our tree:
