I have the same symptom (wifi ends up disconnected after resume, cured by running a scan manually) but I'm seeing this after upgrading to 16.04.
One oddity is that network-manager often shows that it thinks it is connected to an AP after resume but it's not the correct one. It seems to think it is connected to my neighbour's AP, for example. I wondered if the APs had swapped channels due to autodetection or something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1332904 Title: Network manager stopped scanning for wifi networks Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After I resumed my laptop from suspend, it would not connect to wifi. For a while, it seemed confused about its connection state, then it displayed "disconnected", and showed that there were no wifi networks available (which is not true). To debug the problem, I ran "nmcli d wifi list", which showed no results. Then I ran "iwlist scan", which also showed no results. Then I tried "sudo iwlist scan" - which showed all the wifi networks, and actually caused the network manager to start working again. It connected to a network successfully, and so on.
