Public bug reported:

Wi-fi becomes disabled sometimes after the lid on the laptop is shut and
the OS is suspended for a time. Bluetooth is turned off when this
occurs.

The network settings first reports "Wi-Fi is disabled" when the OS is resumed. 
If the user then disables and re-enables Networking or Wi-Fi via the menu 
option , the status of the Wi-Fi changes to say "Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware 
switch".
Toggling the Fn-PrtScr keyboard hardware networking switch has no effect and 
does not actually re-enable the Wi-Fi. Running "sudo rfkill unblock wifi" also 
has no effect.

The only known workaround is to restart the machine.
