   This could be the result of a routing problem.
   What's the output of ifconfig and netstat -rn?
  
  Yeah, that look like a likely culprit.  How do I change that?
 
 Using two IPs on the same network, with the same netmask
 on two different interfaces at the same time is asking for
 trouble.
 
 You can use route(8) to reconfigure the routes, but unless you
 change xl0's IP when it's down, it will grab the default route
 again. 
 
 I guess you never need both NICs on the same network at the
 same time, so why don't you use a script which brings one
 NIC down, removes the IP, flushes all routes, brings the other
 NIC up, sets the IP and reconfigures the routes?

Many thank indeed, that did indeed solve the problem. 

Now, all I need to do is to use some encryption and some find some
monitoring software to give me signal strength and things like that.
Any recommendations on either?

Use WPA - man wpa_supplicant.

ifconfig ath0 scan? :)
I see there is a gkrellm plugin in ports but I've never used it.
