Bug Description

Often after resuming from suspend, my laptop (Samsung series 9) is disconnected from the wifi and it doesn't seem to reconnect. Network manager seems confused; it displays that it is connected, but it shows the wrong access point (i.e. one of my neighbour's access points that I don't even have the password for).

Running iwlist scan manually fixes the problem almost immediately and network-manager starts showing the correct state (connecting, then connected to the right AP).

Very similar to bug 1332904 but apport recommended filing diags on a fresh bug report.

Wifi card appears to be "Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)" according to lspci.
