It isn't evident from your post exactly what you are trying to accomplish but if you are not specifying a network interface i.e eth0 as a command line option dhclient will attempt to identify and configure all interfaces. The timeout default value I believe is 60 seconds so if you have more then one network adapter or one that is not connected it might take several minutes for the command to run.

What are the complete comands you have used to connect wireless?
