Sorry for the late reply.
The "LAN/Wifi on" just calls connectionmanager to stablish the default connection.
It should work for a wireless access point, but my experience is that it fails sometimes.
If you're using WEP and can use an static IP address there is an alternative: I did long ago a script for connecting the iliad to my AP bypassing connectionmnager. It was quicker and didn't fail. Alas, when I sent my iliad for repairs, it was reflashed (?) and I lost my script.
If you're using WEP, I can try to write the script again. If you use WPA I cannot help because I don't have a WPA-enabled AP to test (so I don't have experience with the configuration of wpa_supplicant that would be needed for that case)...
P.S.: Can you test if it works with a wired connection?
