Have you checked /etc/resolve.conf?
Regards.
Thanks Masaru for the suggestion, it was a good idea, but still no joy. resolve.conf looks just fine and hasn't changed on my laptop for a long time. I did double check to make sure my own DNS servers are running, both are and report no issues. Same for my DHCPD server, no issues, nor does it report, in it's log file, that an attempt was made to get an IP address from/for my laptop, when my laptop fails to set up wlan0 properly. What seems odd to me is that just executing -
iwlist wlan0 scan
i.e. simply doing a scan for APs is enough to often setup wlan0 and retrieve an IP address from my DHCPD server!
