A fix for no auto-wireless connection on wake from sleep
Authored by: gsilkey on Jul 10, '08 06:44:37PM

Based on the hint above, I found a fix that might be easier for many folks since it does not require the user to directly edit an xml preferences file:

1. In the Network references pane, delete the Airport connection that does not like to reconnect.
2. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Wake the computer.
5. Go back in to the Network pref pane and re-add the Airport connection. Do not try to connect to the network at this time.
6. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
7. Use the Airport menubar app to connect to your network.
8. Verify connectivity
9. Put the computer to sleep.
10. Wake the computer.
11. Verify connectivity

My machine now consistently reconnects when coming out of sleep or restarting.

God luck!
