Hi,
I've been having this problem for some time now, on and off. I loose
WiFi and there are no available networks to connect to although I
know there should be several and other devices are connected. The
only remedy is a restart. Logout will not help. After restart I can
access networks for a while after which it is dropped again.
My Network controller is Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n
(rev 02)
Any suggestions?
Best,

All I can suggest is that the firmware of that wifi has power saving
function that turns it off after what it decides to be a period of
inactivity.
Another thing to check is
System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Screen Saver
From that gui, click on Power Management
Be sure to check all 4 tabs of the Power Management Gui.
R U running on battery most of the time?
I would like to echo the problem that Henrik is having.
The Wifi on my Dell Laptop (D630) has been dropping ever since I
installed Fedora on it (initially F18; now F21). No matter which
Fedora version, the Wifi connection eventually drops, can be restored
a few times w/ systemctl restart NetworkManager
and then eventually drops.
I too would like to find a way of restoring and maintaining the Wifi
connection w/o rebooting.
..... Rest snipped .....
The D630, and possibly the OP's laptop are old.
On windows systems, there is (was) a configure menu that turned off
power management of the wifi,
so that the wifi would always remain on.
On Linux, you can disable power management by running
iwconfig <interface-name> power off
Yeah ... I know .. it sounds as if you want to power it off.
That is not the meaning of it. It turns off power management,
so it will always be ON.
