I resolved this manually by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid blackpaw
wireless-channel 6
wireless-key [1] XXXXXXX open [1]
auto wlan0

Channel 6 is not the default for my country (AU) but there's to much interference on the normal channel so I use Channel 6 - perhaps that is the problem?
