After installing the newest wl driver released by Broadcom on 2/9/2010,
everything works flawlessly.

Steps:
Download the driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Install it using the instructions in README.txt.
Create /etc/pm/config.d/suspend_wl with the contents: SUSPEND_MODULES=wl

To verify that the new kernel driver was in use, I made sure that the
contents of /sys/module/wl/srcversion before I started and after
rebooting.

To resolve this issue:
- The module must be reloaded on suspended/hibernate. Right now it is not, 
which is what causes the old APs to remain. Given the lack of other modules 
that use this method, there's probably a better way. Anyone know what that 
would be?
- The wl driver that ships with ubuntu should be upgraded to the latest version.
