I've heard that the early Pavilion BIOS's could be buggy. Have you got the latest BIOS?
Is there anything in the BIOS such as "allow the O/S to turn off this device"? If so, disallow that to keep the wifi adapter power on.
Failing that, it's to do with the suspend function of your O/S and finding a way to not power down the wifi adapter.
(O/S's failing to reconnect through wifi adapters which have been powered off and then back on is quite common).

APM(1) Linux Programmer's Manual APM(1)
NAME
apm - query Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS
SYNOPSIS
apm [ -vVmsS ]
DESCRIPTION
apm reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a human-readable format. Since primarily battery status information is provided, this com-
mand is most useful on laptops with a compliant APM BIOS. apm also allows the machine to be put into standby or suspend mode.
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Print the apm program version and exit immediately.
-v, --verbose
Print information about the APM BIOS version and Linux APM driver version.
-m, --minutes
Print total minutes remaining instead of using an hh:mm format.
-s, --suspend
Put the machine into suspend mode if possible.
-S, --standby
Put the machine into standby mode if possible.
-i, --ignore
Tell the system to ignore system-generated APM suspend and standby events when on AC power. This may be useful to users who have
laptops and want APM events when on battery power, but not when on AC power.
-n, --noignore
Tell the system not to ignore system-generated APM suspend and standby events when on AC power. This is the default mode; this
option is provided as a way to undo a prior "apm -i" call.
BUGS This program requires a post-1.3.57 kernel. This program will not work with older kernels or with the APM patches, since the format
for /proc/apm has changed radically.
