Ok using these scripts u and d (below) and the suggestion below it works, but is unreliable, I can
ssh into it over wifi, but it quickly loses its connection, not sure why yet.
# u this turns on wifi and usb0 off
ifdown usb0
ifup eth0
# d this brings back usb0
ifdown eth0
killall wpa_supplicant
ifup usb0
