Thanks for this.  I seemed to have neither the iwconfig or the udhcpc
line in my bootlocal.sh or bootsync.sh files which confused me for a
while.  However, what did fix the problem was connecting to wi-fi
through Option 7 of Picoreplayer, Option 10 to exit and then a manual
sudo filetool.sh -b before rebooting.  All seems fine now but don't know
why it didn't work by using Option 9 on the menu.

New question: is there a way to set up the wireless config manually so I
can send it to my son ready to go?  Where he is, he has access to wifi
but no ethernet.
