There's a few issues here that could affect this.

1) bad drivers, especially wl.o (proprietary broadcom).  I fixed all the
in-kernel drivers over a year ago, but the proprietary drivers appear to
not to have been fixed yet perhaps:

http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/02/26/suspendresume-vs-networkmanager/

2) there was a dbus bug that caused the pm-utils scripts to never
deliver the "hey, wake up!!" signal to NetworkManager.  In
your /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/messages file, if you don't see a
"Waking up..." when you unsuspend, this is likely the issue.  Add a
--print-reply as the first argument to the dbus-send call in the NM
pm-utils script located /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager
(for 64-bit installs, adjust your path as necessary).  Most distros have
handled this already for you, but perhaps yours has not.

3) if neither of these two is a problem, then we need more logs,
preferably from wpa_supplicant as described in the "Debugging WiFi
Connections" section of this page:

http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging

getting verbose supplicant output will allow us to debug a lot further
what's going on.
