Hi,

I cannot test the upstream kernel: I've had a look at the link you
provided and it all sounds too complicated and scary to me. What if I do
something wrong and end up with an unbootable system?

However I can confirm a series of steps that reproduce the issue 100% of
the time (for me).

1. Connect to a given wifi network N.
2. Move my laptop to a place where the signal strength of that network is 
insufficient, so it will disconnect
3. Try to reconnect, which will fail, which is OK because the network is not 
available. At the end the network will not be shown as available any more
4. Go back to the original place where the signal from the network is strong 
enough and where i had connected without problem.
5. The wifi network N will now be listed as available. Try to connect to it
Expected: it should connect succesfully
Instead, it fails. Try again and again: it will always fail.

Reboot, then try again: it will connect immediately.


Is there anything I can do as a workaround in order to "reset" whatever needs 
to be reset without rebooting the whole system??

thanks
m.
