Public bug reported: When using Gnome-Shell on Ubuntu 16.04, the Internet connection will suddenly drop off, even though the network connection icon will still indicate a connection.
Attempting to run `sudo service network-manager restart` will hang indefinitely. Attempting to restart Gnome-Shell via alt+F2+r, will cause Gnome-Shell to hang indefinitely. Switching to a terminal, I inspecting `dmesg` and found several messages like: [178443.199324] INFO: task wpa_supplicant:1708 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

However, this has happened several times after a recent update, and the symptoms always manifest exactly the same. No Internet, then Gnome-Shell hangs, then all sudo commands hang. I managed to copy my dmesg log before the reboot, which I have attached.
