DHCP does retry. It's not optimal but it kinda works. Sometime after
AP authentication we eventually get DHCP from one of the retries.
The problem is that I've not found a way to make startup wait for DHCP
before plowing ahead and making a mess of openvpn, which then messes up
the routing in quagga.
