Which WLAN card and driver are you using in the client?

Could you please run this in foreground and with debugging enabled
(replace -B with -dd on the command line) and send the debug output?

What do you mean with static IP working? Can you use the connection fine
just by setting the IP address manually? Have you checked whether the
client is able to receive broadcast packets? I would assume your DHCP
server is replying with broadcast frames and the client may fail to
receive them.
