Alas, that seems to have been the problem, I was getting different
frequencies. Once I manually set the frequency, dhclient worked
perfectly. The only problem now is that I seem to be limited to very
slow speeds (on the order of 5-20K/s, or ~120 kilobits/s).
I guess the speed problem is due to the general state of BCM4318
support, as mentioned by the developers.
I'm glad the frequency thing isn't some weird glitch that only I am
experiencing though.
I'm pretty sure that I'm using a 4311 chip... lspci -n gives...

...I might have been mistaken about it being a PCI-E chip in that
case. One additional question, it seems the link quality is very low;
"iwconfig wlan0" tells me it's 3/100 after associating with my AP.
Could that be the power issue that Johannes Berg was speaking of? I'm
curious as to what speeds you're running at, and what your link
quality is.
My card (a 4306) seems to be running at 11Mbps. No idea how to change
it: iwconfig doesn't report the current rate (I had to go digging in
sysfs) and trying to change it with iwconfig fails with "Operation not
supported".
Here's the signal info:
Link Quality=228/100 Signal level=-32 dBm Noise level=-70 dBm
The machine is about 3 metres from the AP.
A quick test just incase the information is somehow helpful... I moved
to within two meters of my AP with nothing blocking the way--the link
quality jumped up to 46/100 (vs 3/100 5m away and a wall blocking),
though there was no increase in speed (still limited to ~120 kilobits/s).
Before: Link Quality=3/100 Signal level=-73 dBm Noise level=-66 dBm
After: Link Quality=46/100 Signal level=-49 dBm Noise level=-69 dBm
