Restarting nm-applet fixes it for me every time.
Just to be clear about the issue:
WIFI works fine from a fresh boot, and after resume from suspend, it
connects to any automatically configured network.
Problem (Issue):
1-After resume, nm-applet (network indicator) icon does one of the
following randomly every time:
a- shows a wired connection icon.
b- shows no connection icon.
In both cases (1-a or 1-b),
3- the wifi is connected and working. I Confirmed using a web browser.
4- the list doesn't show available wifi networks or the current connected
network. It shows a "disconnect" button though
The main problem is that I cannot connect to a different wifi-network
due to issue (4). And if for some reason I lost connection, I cannot
reconnect.
restarting "network-manager.service" doesn't fix the issue for me.
Fix for me:
Restart nm-applet.
I used the following method:
1- run gnome-system-monitor.
2- in the processes tab, look for (nm-applet).
3- select it and press "End Process"
4- confirm "End Process" in the dialog.
5- start a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) or press (Alt+F2)
6- type in "nm-applet" and enter
after the fix, the network-indicator shows the correct icon and signal
strength for wifi. & in the list, I could see all available wifi
connections.

Restarting (nm-applet) automatically after every suspend should (in theory) fix
the problem. I don't know how to do that.... yet.
Please let me know if more information is missing as this is my first entry,
and I'll add how to restart (nm-applet) automatically once I find out how to,
