I am on 16.04.1, and I too am having this issue. Whenever my laptop (W520) goes into Suspend or Hibernate mode and I boot it back up, the WiFi icon displays the "disconnected" message briefly, and then reconnects--only to display the up and down arrows associated with the Ethernet icon and the Ethernet drop-down menu in the top panel. No SSIDs are shown, and the menu asks me to connect to a WiFi network even though I'm already connected to one.

I have Thinkpad 11 bgn WiFi. Ubuntu displays it as "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)". Device name is wlp3s0 rather than wlan0.
