wpa_supplicant needs a bit time to do its magic, so dhclient can only
succeed after the connection is established.
it's possible to sync wpa_supplicant via wpa_cli
please take a look at this commit
https://github.com/soul9/sabotage/commit/f8584ee1c918927fbd0dc4f68dc66979e94e5134
this is probably not yet sufficient due to some issues (for example exec
transfers ownerships, so the last line cant be executed) but we're
working on a solution.
in case you come up with a better approach we're all ears.
(we also need a way so the user can choose between dhcp and non-dhcp
configs).

the rc.local stuff is mostly for a static configuration. the dhcp stuff
there will only work with a connection thats already up after the kernel
finished loading (i.e. ethernet).
