Thanks birdman

Will give it a go once the grandkids have gone back home.

@Ashley69 - what @birdman posted in #13 should work. Let us know, please. I'm assuming that you have some means of connecting it to ethernet so you can telnet or ssh to it.
I have a similar issue in that I have an rtl8192cu dongle, but it's not being handled correctly. The solution was to install the rtl8192cu kernel module. I'm working on trying to get it included in the standard HD51 build.

Cheers Tony.

Will let you know later. Yes I have it on ethernet at the moment.

Thanks birdman and Tony.

This is what I get now I've installed the new kernel.
root@mutant51:~# ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver -> ../../../../../../../bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu

Wireless adaptor now working perfectly.

That's good news Ashley - this will survive any updates you may do. However, if you fresh flash, you will have to re-install the kernel device driver again. That is, until it is included in the standard build.

Thanks for the tip.
