This now happens to me constantly: after a resume, the network manager
applet lists available networks, but does not try to connect to any of
them automatically.  Gconf shows those networks under
/system/networking/wireless/networks, so I assume network manager is
supposed to know about them.

It used to work earlier, but then I edited my /etc/network/interfaces
and removed two lines:

   auto eth1
   iface eth1 inet dhcp

Network manager's readme says that it handles network interfaces only
when they are not mentioned, or when they are configured with exactly
these settings (auto and dhcp).  It does not say anything about treating
network interfaces differently depending on the presence of these two
settings.

I removed auto and inet eth1 dhcp lines from my /etc/network/interfaces
because I thought they were interfering with network manager:

  * sometimes out of the blue my IP address would be reset to 0.0.0.0,
while network manager would continue to thing that it is connected

  * sometimes I'd be online, but network manager would think I am not
connected

  * sometimes I noticed that both dhclient and dhclient3 were running

These symptoms are consistent with the theory that my networking was
handled both by the standard infrastructure (that ran dhclient3) and
network manager (that ran dhclient).  Two DHCP clients on one network
interface usually do not work that well.
