Ok, this seems to be somewhat related to bug #854833, but the "Available
to all users" checkbox which is suggested as a workaround in that bug
was grayed out for me.

However, if I deleted the wireless network that was causing the problem
and then reconnect to it, the newly created wireless network does have
the "Available to all users" checkbox available (and ticked) and it now
does remember my wireless password between suspends and restarts.

I guess this was caused by a migration issue when a package was updated
recently, but I'm not sure exactly when it first occurred.

Title:
  network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've been keeping up with the oneirc updates, but within the past
  couple of days, the network manager has forgotten my wifi password,
  and every time I suspend or restart the computer I have to enter the
  password again.

  Looking at the password and keys setting application, there no longer
  appears to be a 'Network Secret' saved for my home (or work) wifi
  account, although there are some other less-used networks still in
  there.
