First of all, thanks for all the investigative work!


 >But after wpa_supplicant shuts down, dhcpcd just hangs, and it never
shuts down.
Do the dhcpcd logs in /var/log/dhcpcd say anything interesting here? It
should say something like "received SIGTERM, stopping" when it shuts
down.

 > So, what do you think @Dudemanguy?  Any way to deal with this order 
of dhcpcd vs. wpa_supplicant getting shut down, or specify that 
particular order to S6?
One thought would be to remove the dhcpcd dependency from
wpa_supplicant, but I would rather not do that because you do need
dhcpcd running for wpa_supplicant to work correctly. It might be
possible to add a finish script that will solve your problem. For
example, "wpa_cli terminate" being run when wpa_supplicant gets
brought down might possibly prevent dhcpcd from hanging for you.
Alternatively, dhcpcd may need a finish script itself.
