Fidding with ifconfig doesn't help because it doesn't know what access
point and key to use, so the equivilent of not being plugged in at the
wall. The interface does appear to be "up", just not doing anything
until I use dhclient (which /etc/init.d/networking should do, it did
when I had one wireless network setup as opposed to mappings)
