Well that almost got it. I set the eth0 interface to a static ip and that speeds up boot by a bunch it also seems to cause it to no longer bring up the wireless interface. I can manually ifup wlan1 and it will come online but it's ignored at boot up.
Putting "ifup wlan1" into /etc/rc.local doesn't help either. I have to log into the serial console and force it up now. <sigh> .... been a long afternoon. How do upgrade the kernel? apt-get upgrade does not do the trick.
