A general suggestion is to provide the relevant info:

- the section of dmesg

- rc.conf if its not obvious what you'd have

- any output like ifconfig wlan0

other that `ifconfig wlan0` what's in `netstat -r4n` ?

This will show if you got an IP at all, and also if a default
route has been created.

There should be a file in /var/db/dhclient.leases.* 

One possibility is that the DHCP client either didn't run, or
did not get an answer in time.

Try deleting /var/db/dhclient.leases.* and running

`service dhclient restart wlan0`

or in the foreground:

# service dhclient stop wlan0
$ dhclient -d wlan0

This should produce output like this:

DHCPREQUEST on igc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 172.16.1.1
bound to 172.16.1.4 -- renewal in 150000 seconds.

and it should also run the hook script which sets the
default route.
