It doesn't change after a few seconds? Just keeps showing "SCANNING"?
Nope....after it showed line 'SCANNING' it returned to a new prompt line.

The ip address isn't surprising, it looks like it hasn't yet associated with the access point. As a quick sanity check, have you been able to connect to the office network with the ambicom card from Windows CE? If so, there's probably just a setting we're missing.
I didn't try that.....guess I should....if I can get card working there....

For the hostname error, it just wants you to add a hostname to rc.conf. Quickest way to shake that is to do something like:
# echo marksnec790 > /etc/myname
Thanks for the info....

As far as the time, I think the funky time when booting may be a side effect of the way netbsd is booted on these devices. The internal time is being reset to something silly (whatever the Windows CE default is...something in 1999 or whatever) every time you boot, and then NetBSD assumes the time is August 4 22:30:04 UTC 2022 based on some file time. I think you just have to set the time every time you boot (once you have network configured, you can probably configure netbsd to set the time from a network source and then just ignore the error).
Actually, what's surprising is that it says date is:
Mon Dec 26 00:28:37 PST 2022
So, somehow, pretty darn close and I have been connected to the net with 790.....
UPDATE
Rebooted and mostly good now...get message about date and time....and the following:
dhclient_flags--nw: not found
Also, get
postfix: rebuilding /etc/mail/aliases
(missing /etc/mail/aliases.db
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
