Public bug reported: It might happend that even if the wifi is correctly connected to my home router, it can't transfer any data, either to/from internet, but also to/from the router or other devices connected to the home network.
Usually a workaroud is to disable wireless from the network-manager menu, and re-enable it, until you get a "good" connection. In the attached logfiles I had a "bad" connection.
