Bug Description
Hi there,
I use Mint 18.1 Cinnamon with Kernel 4.8.0-46
My USB wifi adapter (driver: r8712u) works fine until I put the machine to sleep/hibernation. When I wake the machine up, it will not connect to the wireless network and the network-manager won't show the available networks. In order to get the wifi connection back I have to reboot the system.
Something I find strange is, that sometimes when I wake the machine up from sleep/hibernation network-manager will (randomly) show a single network in the network list, even though there should be about 15 networks available.

I have seen this bug since mid 2014 and it still is not fixed. I can workaround it by re plugging the wireless USB adaptor but it is annoying. Mine is a Belkin N300. lsusb command shows: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:845a Belkin Components F7D2101 802.11n Surf & Share Wireless Adapter v1000 [Realtek RTL8192SU]
