Here is a workaround to solve this issue permanantly:

sudo gedit /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless
(make a copy before doing these changes)

do these changes in the scriptsnippet:

    case $driver in
        ipw2100) iwpriv_ac="set_power 0"
            iwpriv_batt="set_power 0"
            iwconfig_ac="power on"
            iwconfig_batt="power on";;
        ipw3945)
            iwpriv_ac="set_power 6"
            iwpriv_batt="set_power 6";;
        iwl*) if [ -f "/sys/class/net/$1/device/power_level" ]; then
                 iwlevel_ac=0
                 iwlevel_batt=0
              else
                 iwconfig_ac="power off"
                 iwconfig_batt="power off"
              fi;;
        *) iwconfig_ac="power off"
           iwconfig_batt="power off";;
    esac
