I've tried 55NetworkManager script
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-
manager/+bug/291062/comments/34) on a Hardy installation, with
interesting results:
If I haven't moved during a suspend-resume cycle, I get wifi back
quickly, as my notebook remains associated with my home AP.  But if I
suspend at home (homeAP) then go to work (workAP; 1 hour away on the
Tube), I resume and am still 'associated' with homeAP.  To get workAP to
show up in NM's list and to associate with workAP, I have to
R-click->disable wireless and enable wireless.  homeAP is still in the
list for a couple of minutes.

So it seems that the behaviour is to assume that if we were associated
with an AP at suspend then we are still associated at resume.  Perhaps
that is fair, but it would be worth doing an AP scan soon after resume
to check if this is true, and if not, associate with an AP that is
actually there.

MASTER - Network Manager sometimes has "enable networking" unchecked/disabled 
when resuming from suspend
