This crucial bug that undermines the reputation of Ubuntu has remained opened for a very long time. Obviously, the fix seams complicated since it still has not arrived. But meantime, people want a working laptop, period. This is the kind of bug that pushed many previous Linux users to migrate to Mac OS X, simply because the latter simply works.
May I suggest that someone at Canonical simply push a script under '/etc/pm/power.d' that calls 'systemctl restart NetworkManager.service' upon resume until all power management and networking issues are resolved? At least, this will give people back a system that "just works".
