Thankyou Andrew! Your post semi-helped, it got me thinking on the right lines
anyway!
I reordered my lines to match yours. This resulted in the pings not working *at
all* anymore just after bootup, but then after restarting the network script,
it all worked perfectly. This convinced me that the order matters, the
different ip link/add etc and iwconfig commands interfere with each other
somehow.
Turns out the correct order (or at least, one that gets it working first time
for me) is to put the iwconfigs first, then get the ip link up, then put the
'ip addr add' and 'ip route add' commands last. Also it doesn't look like I
need two route-add commands, just the one with the 'default' in it. One day I
must learn what all this means.
