Is caused by missing wpa_supplicant.

Alternate workaround is to start it manually;

    systemctl start wpa_supplicant

After this, wireless can be used.  The reason reboot worked was that it
did the same thing.

According to syslog, when the host name changes from oem-INVALID to user
preference captured by oem-config, wpa_supplicant is stopped by systemd,
but does not start again.

What systemd thinks of wpa_supplicant at the time of the problem:

# systemctl status wpa_supplicant
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA supplicant
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Hope that helps someone fix this!
