Finally found the root reason of the problem! :-)

Both wl (broadcom proprietary driver) and brcmsmac (the open source
driver) are installed, in 11.10 this wasn't a problem since the
brcmsmac was not blacklisted, and even if the wl driver was loaded, it
failed silently and brcmsmac was used instead.

In 12.04, the wl driver has been updated to version 5.100.82.38+bdcom-
0ubuntu6.1 which includes the following fix:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/873117/comments/36

that basically blacklists the brcmsmac module, forcing the wl
proprietary driver to be in use.

When the wl driver is in use, resume takes 30 seconds to associate to
the network, but when the brcmsmac driver is in use, it just takes 5
seconds.

I just blacklisted the 'wl' module, and happily using the brcmsmac now
in 12.04, without any issues. Problem solved!
