Hey Ollie,

DHCP is straight forward to get working with the wireless utility 
iwconfg. However, as far as I am aware, this particular utility ony 
supports WEP protocol. For WPA you need wpa-supplicant.

Assuming that you have all relevent modules loaded and your wireless 
device is wlan0, you can type in:

'ifconfig wlan0 up' to first bring it up, and then
... iwconfig stuff ...
udhcpc -i wlan0 to pick up a DHCP assigned address.

Please note, that if you require a key and specific SSID, then use:
iwconfig wlan0 essid <SSID> key <s:KEY|KEY>
for the "... iwconfig stuff ... " above.

try to check up on the documentation for iwconfig if you have any 
problems, but that is the correct order.
