Bug Description

I have a System 76 serval running Ubuntu 19.04 64-bit. The wifi stops working frequently and the network-manager service needs to be restarted. It will die on its own, but can be triggered by switching wifi 3 times (sometimes more, sometimes fewer)!

When it is working, I have:
```
    % usr/bin/sudo nmcli device
    DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
    wlp62s0 wifi connected ATT964
    p2p-dev-wlp62s0 wifi-p2p disconnected --
    enp59s0 ethernet unavailable --
    lo loopback unmanaged --

```
If I switch between my two wifi routers three times (sometimes more times) using the Select Network command on the taskbar, wifi stops working.

Issuing the commands above yields the following differences:
```
    % /usr/bin/sudo nmcli device
    DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
    enp59s0 ethernet unavailable --
    wlp62s0 wifi unavailable --
    p2p-dev-wlp62s0 wifi-p2p unavailable --

```
/var/log/syslog reports the following after failing to switch wifi networks:

I do not really see in the log snippets where the Wi-Fi does not actually work, or which step of the Wi-Fi connection attempt fails. Perhaps the relevant part is not included.
