DHCP neither fails nor times out. DHCP occurs in the background. Openvpn
starts up before DHCP has succeeded. Of particular concern to openvpn is
that there is no default route until DHCP has succeeded.
The question is how to make ifup wait for DHCP on wlan0, so that the default
route is available when openvpn starts, as we need openvpn to create a route
with a next hop of "net_gateway".
