Hi Ross
I've managed to get it working.
I re-ran "ceni" and selected "wpa_supplicant" and "auto", rather than
the default options "wireless-tools" and "allow-hotplug". Of course, these
options can be added to /etc/network/interfaces anyway, but i didn't
have a need to do that - it just worked fine.
