When I resume my computer from suspend it doesn't want to connect to any wireless connection. It looks like it is connecting, but after a while it asks me to retype a password for wireless connection. It connect after I restart it.
I am using Toshiba Satellite A210 and Ubuntu 10.10 (I have the same problem with 10.04 and 11.04 beta2.

It doesn't help fix the bug, but here's a workaround.
Use lsmod to find out which wireless driver you're running.
Reproduce the problem.
Kill the module (sudo rmmod [your driver]).
4 Reinsert the module (sudo modprobe [your driver]).
If wireless begins working again, you can create scripts in /etc/pm to do this each time you suspend and resume. It'll add a couple of seconds to reconnecting on resume, but that's all.
