I'm going to paste your writings into a file called 'wifihints I think.
After a fair bit of mucking about I managed to get some syslog content into a file on my net ready laptop. Next trick was to boot with and without the usb dongle installed and direct the output of lsmod into 2 different files and diff them to show me the module or modules that I had to restart. The second boot was without the dongle so when I plugged it in to prepare for another boot the wifi just connected no problem at all. I take from this that in effect I've really just done a module restart. Thanks again, Bob
