I found the source of my problem. Turns out systemd presumes shutting
your laptop lid means the computer is going to sleep, and notifies
NetworkManager to prepare for sleep[0]. If the computer does not, in
fact, go to sleep, NetworkManager never receives the corresponding
"wake up from sleep" event, and doesn't reenable networking.

The solution is to tell systemd to not handle lid close events[1] and
reload your systemd conf (or maybe just reboot).
