LOL, I did what I always do when slapped in the face with distro-nonsense: I rolled my own. In runit I started both dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant as daemons, but for dhcpcd I had an "if wpa_cli ping" statement, in the run file, to guarantee that dhcpcd would start AFTER wpa_supplicant is functioning. Works in most cases. On one computer I needed to shut off the wired Ethernet beforehand. Still easier than fathoming distro nonsense.
