This is "expected" behavior: if the wireless connection fails; NM can't
tell the difference between the AP being offline (power outage) and the
password being wrong -- it *will* ask for the password just in case.
As for the case from the original reporter, it's basically almost the
same thing. On resume, the card is probably not quite ready yet,
scanning or doing other things, so the first (few) authentication
attempts fail. This would be a bug in the broadcom drivers.
Those have changed a lot in the recent past. Tell me, is this still
happening with 12.04?

Title:
NetworkManager prompts for reconnection (with previously entered
password filled in) on resume from suspend
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
* What I expected to happen
I open my netbook lid, Ubuntu resumes from standby, wireless connects
immediately
* What actually happened
I open my netbook lid, Ubuntu resumes from standby, Network Manager
applet spins for a while and is about to connect to saved network
connection, then prompts me for WPA2 password but the password is
already filled in, so I have to click Connect to connect. If my
password is stored, why can't it just connect automatically? Why make
me click Connect?
* The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step
1 is "start the program"
Step 1. Make computer suspend to RAM (close lid)
Step 2. Make computer resume from suspend (open lid)
Step 3. Wait for wireless to reconnect
I'm using the latest Lucid alpha will all recommended updates
installed. This just started happening in the last few days. Broadcom
4312 wireless card. Apport isn't able to connect directly to Launchpad
right now, so I'm attaching the offline apport info.
