Loses wifi when lid closed until restarted
I did a post on this about a month ago but since then I've found out more about the problem.
Sometimes when I shut the lid on my macbook it can no longer see any wifi networks when I open it again. It doesn't happen every time but fairly often and the only way I have found to make it see wifi networks again is to restart it. I know it only happens when I shut the lid because I tried leaving it open for over a week, sleeping it from the apple menu and I didn't get a problem the whole time.
I've reset the PRAM and SMC and I've even tried running the laptop off an external hard drive with a clean osx install on it but no luck.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated as I'm hoping to use the macbook for school, where I will be constantly opening and closing it all day. If I have to, I'll buy an external wifi adapter but I'd rather have it working properly.

No one got any idea what could be wrong?

Does the Wifi Network connect automatically? It should be included in the preferred networks list...

I was having this problem and I spoke with Apple about this. In my case it was a reset of the wifi settings. They asked me to shut down computer, then hold down shift key (below caps lock), control key and options key as well as power on-off button for 15 secs - nothing will happen to you macbook. Then lift your fingers off keys and then turn on computer using power button. This worked. For me.
