NM hasn't worked for my wireless (hidden ESSID problem?), so I'm using traditional ifup/ifdown.

If I put the laptop to sleep by closing the lid, then wake it up, networking seems in a weird state: I can ping my router, I can even ping www.google.com, but if I direct a web browser to a website (and I tried 3 different ones), it times out without ever connecting.

If I bring down the network with ifdown and back up with ifup, browsing works again.

This doesn't always happen, and sometimes if I wait a while before trying to connect to a website, it works OK. But I'd say it fails a significant percentage of the time (30%? I've only been using the laptop for one day, so I don't have a lot of history yet). I also had the impression that the risk of failure increased with more times putting the laptop to sleep.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to wireless network using ifup/ifdown configuration. Browse websites to verify everything works.
2. Put computer to sleep
3. Wake computer up, open browser and try to visit websites.
Actual Results:  
Browser "spins" without connecting.

Expected Results:  
Browser should have displayed the page I wanted.

11.2 is out of support. As such it is hard to reproduce your problem on current software stack.
Please open a new issue if you still can reproduce it on current releases.
