Is this line needed for your card?

And this one? You don't usually need to associate if you specify the
ssid in the wpa_supplicant conf file.
Is it a hidden network?

Unless your wireless card has a strange behaviour, it should be enough
with those two lines:

 /usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/speedport.conf -B
 dhcpcd -d -t 10 ath0

Have you tried without -t option? and with dhclient ath0?

Not really, I couldn't reproduce it. What is the encryption of the network?
