Public bug reported:
When resuming from sleep or coming out of hibernation and sometimes when
disabing and reenabling the wireless card (using Fn + the corresponding
key), network-manager will stop recognizing that there's a wireless card
in my laptop. The bluetooth applet and the card themselves still work. I
can still connect to the same network it was connected before putting it
to sleep/hibernate (because it's a known network and it does so
automatically) but network-manager won't display anything regarding me
having a wireless card, displaying the icon and information I would
expect if I were connected using an ethernet cable.
A workaround consists in restarting the network-manager service using
systemctl
sudo service network-manager restart
or
sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service
The system is a Dell Vostro 5470 running a fresh installation of Ubuntu
16.04.1. If I recall correctly, this also happened with Ubuntu 14.04.4 too.
BIOS version is A12 (the latest).
I've seen several people with problems like this one that were solved by
restarting network-manager (a quick Googling shows a handful of such
cases). This can be a huge turn off for a newcomer.
Some people also suggested creating a systemd service to restart the
network-manager service when resuming, etc. but since this bug also
occurs when disabling/reenabling the card, it might have another cause
that's unrelated to resuming from sleep.
