Wifi worked fine on my dell inspiron e1505 with broadcom 4311 wifi.

Since upgrading to 14.04, wifi does not work after resuming from (close-the-lid) suspend. If I then manually put it in suspend again with the keyboard, wifi works on resume ~95% of the time.

output from lspci and lshw follows.

lspci | grep -i network 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

After a bit of trial-and-error, I ended up with this,

#!/bin/sh

case "${1}" in
  resume|thaw)
    nmcli r wifi off && nmcli r wifi on;
esac

Put this in /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_resume_wifi and the problem should be fixed immediately.

Copied my own answer from Wireless networking not working after resume in Ubuntu 14.04

Had this problem with an HP dv9000 with a BCM4311 in it.

Tried this in the terminal and it worked after sleep to bring the interface back up:

nmcli nm sleep false

So I just adapted the solution above to use this new string instead of the one that turns it off/on again. So it looks like this and it works great:

#!/bin/sh

case "${1}" in
  resume|thaw)
    nmcli nm sleep false;
esac

Be sure to make it executable:

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_resume_wifi
