To add to this, both wired and wireless connections (via network-manager-applet) appear to connect, the log 
reports an ip address has been assigned, /etc/resolv.conf is modified with the ip address of the router, but 
I cannot ping the router.

Using the gnome-control-center network panel to disable ipv6 does not help and I notice that the dns server 
and gateway addresses for both wired and wireless connections are blank.

Both dhcpcd and udhcpc without networkmanager connect without problems.
