I had a look to my /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlan0 which I wrote about a
year ago, and I found some "pause" statements... I don't remember why.
You probably need to wait a little after loading the driver and
bringing up the interface. Unfortunately, busyboxes pause supports
only integer number of seconds.

I suggest you try all in a shellscript which you can run and see when
the interface comes up. Remember unloading the driver before retrying.

To test DHCP you need to load af_packet driver first:
insmod af_packet
udhcpc -i wlan0

So you can debug DHCP too.
