It's DHCPCD, not DHCPclient.
DHCPCD doesn't have the -v option.
But the problem may be another...

At home I have a WPA network, so I've created a wpa.conf file with the
setup to connect to it, like explained here:
http://linux.icydog.net/wpa.php

also noted that the > simbol removes all passwords from the wpa.conf file!
if it's for adding, the » simbol can be used.

so, running:
$ sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /System/Settings/wpa.conf

initializes ok, and outputs:
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy
wlan0: Association request to the driver failed
wlan0: Associated with f8:d1:11:2c:b7:fa
wlan0: WPA: Key negotiation completed with f8:d1:11:2c:b7:fa [PTK=CCMP GTK=TKIP]
wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to f8:d1:11:2c:b7:fa
completed [id=0 id_str=]

opening another Terminology, and running
$ iwconfig wlan0
shows that the network was associated ok.

then
$ sudo dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd[3794]: version 6.1.0 starting
dhcpcd[3794]: wlan0: starting wpa-supplicant
dhcpcd[3794]: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[3794]: timed out
dhcpcd[3794]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[3794]: timed out
dhcpcd[3794]: exited

when dhcpcd is executed, the other window with the wpa_supplicant reports:
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy
wlan0: failed to initiate AP scan
...and it goes in cycles trying to reconnect and failing.

A wext driver problem?
wpa_supplicant.conf file is the default with the Gobo015 release.
