OK, I seem to have got wireless working.
First I disable NetworkManager.
Then I manually run wpa_supplicant
ThinkPad-E420:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -c wpa.conf -ieth1
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Invalid argument
Trying to associate with 00:12:bf:25:b8:3a (SSID='Marsprobe' freq=2462 MHz)
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Device or resource busy
Association request to the driver failed
Associated with 00:12:bf:25:b8:3a
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:12:bf:25:b8:3a [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:12:bf:25:b8:3a completed (auth) [id=0
id_str=]
I then find that I have an IP address:
$ ifconfig
...
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ac:81:12:3a:02:db
inet addr:10.1.1.12 Bcast:10.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

...
Finally I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf to manually set my nameserver
