Thanks Paul.

I installed the fsoraw utility (funny, I did a "opkg search fsoraw" and found 
nothing, then I did a "opkg list | grep -i fsoraw" and saw it in the list. 
Then I typed "opkg install fsoraw" and voila, it installed).

I managed to get the fsoraw utility to start the wpa_supplicant applications 
and I could see the wpa handshake being done on the AP (Access Point) side. 
Then the udhcpc (busybox dhcp client) started up and did it's usual round of 
ignoring the response to its DHCPDISCOVER messages (this is why I want to get 
dhclient). Eventually it actually did send a DHCPACK and it had an IP address. 
I spent too long congratulating myself and gloating because just as I issued 
the ssh root at wifi-ip-address-of-my-neo the AP log said that the wifi had been 
disassociated and the Neo was showing that the wifi timed out due to 
inactivity.

This is a few steps forward. Thanks for the help.
Cheers!!
