So, it looks like there isnt an issue with the wireless driver - it is
the "network manager" that ships with Ubuntu. I just switched to WICD
and things seem to be working fine - i.e. I can reboot the computer with
wireless networking enabled and WICD will properly connect to the
wireless network as expected.

If you do 
sudo apt-get install wicd

it will install wicd and uninstall network-manager (he he..). Among
other benefits is the fact that WICD has a refresh button (so that a
computer waking up from sleep can have its wireless networks refreshed
manually instead of you having to wait for NM to refresh every 30secs or
so.). Hope this helps some of you.
