OK I can do this manually every time but I don't understand what it is that kwifi is doing. Obviously there is a step I am missing somewhere. Can anyone help?
It sounds like either your encryption is set up wrong or you are accidentally putting the card in ad-hoc mode (card to card rather than card to AP)
Then kwifi is putting the correct settings over the top.
I have found the solution - iwconfig. I simply had to use this to set the essid and the mode and then dhcpcd did the rest.
