Here's the keybind 
"qvm-run sys-net 'bash wifi-resume' "
Add it in Qubes menu --> Systems Tools --> Keyboard --> Application Shortcuts. 

Then in your wifi-resume script, throw it in your sys-net home folder. 
Write something akin to in the script, albeit with your own wifi hardware 
module names.
 
sudo rmmod iwlmvm
sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlmvm 


But try the blacklisting first before making a keybind, since the automatic 
process is easier than a keybind, and it may be sufficient. The keybind is just 
for extra control or in situations it was not caused by suspend/hibernate.

In most cases, it should be relatively easy to fix.
Here is the official Qubes guide to this very problem 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/wireless-troubleshooting/

I can rapport it certainly worked for me, having had exact same issue as you 
describe. No more loose of internet connection after suspend/hibernate, quick 
internet after suspend or hibernate, and no more dom0 kernel panic reboots out 
of nowhere.

I also discovered if you keybind the rmmod/modprobe wifi module process in 
addition to putting them on the blacklist as described in the list, you can 
force your network to quickly regain network, if it happens to be slow to 
connect or the discover is slow to become available when suddenly in range. But 
mostly the blacklist is sufficient enough.

Even if it's happening outside hibernate/suspend, a keybind to the 
rmmod/modprobe process can in many cases quickly fix it, without having to type 
it manually or reboot your entire system. I never have to reboot anymore, 
having been in your shoes once. Hopefully this works for you too.

Would it be similar to this issue?
