I have the same issue with my Dell mini 9. It was reasonably fast to connect with 10.04, but much slower with 10.10. There's the same delay before the icon indicates that it's even trying to connect, but once it does, it connects pretty quickly.
I tried running 'sudo iwlist scan' from a terminal immediately after sleep. It seems to help for me as well. -- System takes too long to activate wifi on resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
