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.
