I have an issue like this sometimes on an old lappy wifi.  Not sure what causes 
it,  but maybe a problem with the kernel.  see if you reloading the module 
helps instead of rebooting. thats what I have to do.  but I can go weeks 
without it happening before it happens.  Making think something happens in the 
air.   but might have to make a bug report to fedora or debian.

Oh, and the adapter is the v3 version, supposedly well-supported by Qubes
