   To start with, ifconfig reports

   If I bring up wlan0 (the internal wifi interface then ifconfig reports   
   wlan0: flags=4163  mtu 1500

   At the moment, there's a ping session running to the gateway continuously.   
   Times are sub-2ms unloaded, until I start loading a big page under chromium,   
   whereupon ping times go.....dammit, everthing works just fine 8-(   
      
   At the moment I'm baffled.   
      
   Thanks for writing, apologies for the goose chase.
