It's not normal to have to reboot after suspend.

I've seen this problem also, and only since installing XP service pack 2. I
haven't found a permanent solution yet (haven't tried actually), but I have
found a workaround that's quicker than rebooting.

If you open a DOS window and type "ipconfig /renew" it should re-establish
the wireless connection.

I don't know what's causing this or how to permanently fix it, but the
workaround so far has been easy enough so that I'm not worrying about it too
much.
