Just a guess:
you can check the mac address for your card. I had a problem once with 
mac being reversed when resuming from STR or hibernation
(00:56:... became...56:00) and in combination with mac filtering on the 
router, the quickest solution was to add the reversed mac to allowed 
clients list.
(You were hibernating vista, to overcome the nic power down problem, if 
I'm not mistaking?)
Anyway, if you can connect to the routers interface (with the wire 
or/and on another comp.), you may check clients list (if that fun.is 
available) and compare the difference between clients vista vs. Ubuntu 
or temp. disable clients/stations filtering.
As I wrote, just a guess and maybe a hint to include third party in the 
troubleshooting e.g the router.
