On my SuSe laptop, I'm aware that wpa_supplicant does its thing,
and then something (I don't know what) starts dhclient on that
interface when the AP connected.

Jason vas Dias at redhat had an excellent package he wanted me to
put in contrib/.  Unfortunately I lost the tarball, and he hasn't
answered email from me.  I should probably send more.

I'd look at Jason's work as a model for how to apply DHCP clients to
wireless on unixes in general; the use of dBus and HAL as
configuration backplanes abstracted by user-presentation layers such
as NetworkManager.

Hopefully google has some help there.
