Bug Description

After resuming from suspend on my laptop, I have wifi enabled, but Network Manager does not automatically reconnect, and it's list of available wifi networks is blank.

If I run `sudo service network-manager restart`, then this fixes everything and it automatically detects and connects to my wifi hotspot, but this shouldn't be necessary.

This problem seems specific to 16.04. Under 14.04, NM worked perfectly. After I upgraded my 14.04 install to 16.04 it started happening, however, I assumed this was likely due to some broken config file leftover from the upgrade. However, I recently did a fresh install to the same laptop on a blank hard drive, and the problem still exists.
