There has been recent commit, which may affect you:

commit 8125696991194aacb1173b6e8196d19098b44e17
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 28 10:55:25 2013 +0100

     cfg80211/mac80211: disconnect on suspend

It is mentioning something about wowlan so I am not sure whether it 
does. As you are on 3.9.9 I guess you do not have this commit.
