This 10-second sleep is flaky. Instead, after you've started
wpa_supplicant, run `wpa_cli -a /path/to/script -B` with a script
roughly looking like:

case "$2" in
        CONNECTED)
                [[ -f /run/dhcpcd-$1.pid ]] && dhcpcd -qx $1
                dhcpcd -q $1
        ;;
        DISCONNECTED)
                dhcpcd -qx $1
        ;;
esac
