It appears that the new version trashes the wiana.setting file. In
addition it turns off the DHCP server and will not allow anyone to
connect unti it has done an update. The channel had also been reset 
back to default.
 1. To resolve the issue I went back to the closest node. 
 2. Set its channel to 1 and SSID to LocustWorld then waited for the two boxes to mesh. 
 3. When they did I then edited the wiana.settings file and changed the settings to channel6 and back to our SSID. 
 4. I then rebooted the box and reset the settings on the box I did this from.
 5. They remeshed and I was then able to do a remote management. See FirstSteps

Do an iptables -nL
and look for the Chain NoCat table.
You will see entries for your walled garden settings there.
=== SSL in Walledgarden ===
Our network does not run WEP, as we like to let user find it and the 
sing up. What would be the best way to protect the users login name and 
password details, can we use a SSL connection our web service does have this 
option, but not sure how to make it work with he splash screen.
Put your ssl server in your walled garden, and then include a link to 
it on your splash page....
