Ok I can get it to connect repeatably now from the UI, not sure why it wasn't doing it before, it 
does take some time to go from pending to online but it does seem to work.

Thanks That really helps to be able to connect to wifi from a GUI.

Now I just have to figure why the ping over the wifi starts out fast and over time gets slower and 
slower sometimes taking upto 20 secs!

Thanks for your help.
