Yes, definitely a software issue. It should be trivial to trigger NM to do a search for access points when resuming. It's not a hardware issue, as an "iwlist scan" functions immediately after resuming.

Though it seem to meet all of the conditions for 100 paper cuts:
- bugs that are system-wide
- bugs that impact standard workflows (like connecting to the network...)
- bugs that are easy to address, rather that ones that require significant design or development efforts
- issues with existing features, rather than requests for new features
- bugs that relate to usability and design, rather than broken software

It seems to me that forcing users to wait 30-60 seconds every time they open their notebook is quite a big usability concern.
