Update:
still not connecting after reboot but I did find this:
based on info from there I found I can get Wifi to connect by :
# wpa_supplicant -B Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# busybox udhcpc -i wlan0
Other stuff in post didn't seem to help
Move usb0 to a different non-conflicting subnet (- moved to 192.168.99.15 didn't help)
~# vi /etc/system/system/basic.target.wants/network-gadget-init.service
Disable usb0 device from loading (tried this - it no longer shows in ifconfig didn't help)
~# systemctl disable network-gadget-init.service
Ensure there is a wpa_supplicant network{} definition and remove unneeded networks (only one there )
~# vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Enable first network definition (tried instructions didn't seem to make any difference)
