From a user perspective, network traffic suddenly stops.  Typing "ip addr" shows no address associated with the wireless interface.  But NetworkManager still shows the device as connected.

Disconnecting / Reconnecting temporarily resolves the problem.

Starting a large number of connections (such as "apt-get update") usually causes the problem to reoccur.
