k(g)dm won't start when dhcpcd happens during startup


Greetings,
I am using Gentoo 2004.3 with kernel 2.6.9 and a Linksys WMP54g wireless card through ndiswrapper 0.12
During startup neither kdm or gdm start when my dhcp configuration happens during startup, they just hang, then I get a standard login. When I do not do dhcp during startup everything works fine, ie kdm does its thing and all I have to do is type (as root)
Code:
dhcpcd wlan0
in my konsole and my connection is configured.

This is a pain so I need the setup to happen during startup. I have tried this 2 ways, first I added:
Code:
/sbin/dhcpcd wlan0
to my local.start script. This caused kdm to freeze. Then I tried creating a net.wlan0 script adding it to the default run level and writing the needed entry in config.d/net. This resulted in the same problem.

The kicker is that when, after X gives up, I log in everything is configured, startX works fine, and everything goes.
