Further to my comment above, this is the content from end of /var/log/daemon.log. It appears to be timing out on a DHCP request. Since my AP hasn't changed in years, it must be a change at the Ubuntu end that has produced this issue. Since the last update, my workaround no longer works around, so am a bit stuck. I tried the disabling IPV6 on the command line but this hasn't helped.
