Has anyone else noticed this? Now that I'm running Lion, when I wake the MBP it will not be able to find the wifi connection before an error pops up. I've noticed this especially when Time Machine failed to finish the last backup before I put it to sleep.
Got a tip for us?

Lion slow to pickup wifi from sleep

Honestly, Lion has been glitchy since its release and apple will probably addressing those issues through updates and such. Best thing to do now is wait.
Yeah, I'm doing this too but really shouldn't have to. Just trying to pinpoint odd behaviors so they can hopefully address it.
My 11' Air used to wake from sleep in a second with 10.6 and wifi would pick up a second or two later. now its taking 10 or 15 seconds for it to become responsive and connect to wifi with 10.7.
Hope it's sorted, I may swell shut it down now, as it boots in 10 or 15 seconds.

I have the same issue on a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro - I find turning the Wi-Fi off and back on fixes the issue. Saves rebooting your Mac.
You can add your Wi-Fi status to your menu bar using an option in the 'network' system preference panel so it's a simple click to do.
Just waiting now for the update from Apple that will fix it properly.

I've also been experiencing this since upgrading to Lion (mid 2010 Mac Mini). I just open Safari and when it says you have no internet connection, I click the Network Diagnostic and it works its magic.
Same here. And if Time Machine is trying to backup (to network storage) as the MBP is coming out of sleep and WiFi hasn't connected yet, I have to manually stop Time Machine. Otherwise, WiFi won't connect until Time Machine gives up trying to find the network storage. Strange chicken/egg problem. Very annoying.
Happen to me as well. And I got an almost brand new MBP.
This also happened with alot of other pre-lion-installed programs, for example my bluetooth audio transmitter. Used to pop up in a second, now I have to search actively for available bluetooths to make it even noticable.
Apple better be doing something..

I too have still been experiencing this with my 2011 15" 2.ghz i7. I thought 10.7.1 was supposed to fix it, but I have noticed no difference. My 09 13" MBP and 09 27" iMac do not have any problems, all running 10.7.2 and connected to the same Airport Extreme network.
