I had problems with Wifi after suspending.  Try this after resuming to
see if it helps:

sudo killall wpa_supplicant

wpa_supplicant will respawn.

If it works you can  automate this  for every suspend by creating a file
such as:  /etc/pm/sleep.d/99fixwifi.sh

I found parts of the following solution here:

But I modified that solution to include killing wpa_supplicant like so:

Title:
  connman does not rescan for wireless networks after suspend

Status in Intel Connection Manager:
  Triaged
Status in Network Menu:
  Invalid
Status in “connman” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: connman

  Steps to reproduce:
  1.  Connect to wireless network in location A (in this case a WEP network)
  2.  Close the lid to suspend the device
  3.  Go to location B where the original wireless network(s) is no longer available
  4.  Open lid to resume
  5.  Check wireless networks available in location B

  Expected result:
  Should see any wireless networks available in location B and connect to the new wireless network

  Actual result:
  The network indicator shows me the same wireless networks that were available in location A.  Even after several hours I see the available wireless networks has not refreshed.
