Hi everybody, I realize that this fix I found may not help everybody. However, the symptoms I was seeing are the same as described in this bug report so maybe it will work for some other folks as well. The solution was to do the following:

$ sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Change the value of wifi.powersave to 0

:wq

After rebooting I have not experienced the problems with disconnect, even after resuming from suspend.

As I understand it, this setting will disable power management for wifi adapters if its not supported in the driver/kernel by default.
