How to restart NetworkManager and wifi in fedora 24?
I think there is a problem in wifi driver and firefox my fedora 24 .(Acer Aspire E5 , intel i3 ,)
Sometime after booting firefox tends to freeze and wifi connection is gone out. Though I get out the situation using
Alt+tab to switch into another window.
I thought systemctl restart NetworkManager
will work . But it did not . I had to reboot again.
This link may be helpful.
Whenever I try this , this does not help.
[ppaul@pi ~]$ iwconfig

I have the same problem since kernel 4.7.3 arrived, never before. With Broadcom in my case, and akmod. I guess it's a bug. Have you reported it?
