ICd listens on the system bus. I think libosso connects only to the
session bus and/or allows only some messages through from system bus.

Try using the d-bus system bus "natively" from python, not via libosso.

DHCP is started by ICd, so if the wlan script is run only wlan level
stuff is configured. After wlan works, start udhcpc or assign IP
adressess manually.

Hiding the osso-connectivity-ui dialogs is going to be hard as they are
system modal.

Hope this helps.
