After some amount of time working, or especially after a suspend-awake cycle, the gnome network manager controls under the network icon on my top bar stops working. When I click on it, I get a normal list of wired/wireless choices. But selecting something (e.g. to turn the network off, or wireless on/off) has no effect.
