Doesn't help much, but I just tested with a WLAN card in my Linux
desktop (TP-LINK TL-WN772N, Atheros AR9271) and it worked straight
away; assigned an IP to my tablet, and saw the packets in tcpdump.

It also worked on a Netgear WLAN card, also supposedly the same
chipset, though it's not a good card. When a DHCP Discover got
through, though, the Offer was successfully sent.

I'll see if I can dig out the Pi to test, but this may take a
while as I've not fired it up for a bit.

So it doesn't look like a problem with DHCP over a wireless
interface in general.
