Bug Description
After suspending my laptop and resuming it in a different location, the network manager applet was still showing that I was connected to the old (no longer present) wifi network, and would not automatically connect to a new network.
Here's the iwconfig output:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
But network manager believes it's still connected:
