Thanks to all for the replies. Having taken the advice without
achieving a resolution, I'm now focusing on the second half of my

to reproduce the problem at will - I can turn off the airport, but
this weird "on but disconnected" state has so far eluded my efforts to
enter it manually. So I haven't had a chance to test whether e.g.
"Ifconfig up" will work...
