Do I also need to kill dhcp processes?
You should not need to; however, you might try 'ifdown' before the 'ifup'.
sadly, this does *not* work.
Another thing you might consider is bisecting this problem. It seems not to affect many systems, and it might not be fixed unless you identify the commit that caused the problem.
after a week of problems with wireless connection, I'm afraid I do not have *any* idea which commit caused the problem and I am *just* assuming that it is kernel related but the kernel did change about that time. Updates in factory are volumous and frequent and leave no documented memory trail that I know of. Can you suggest a way to find the "commit that caused the problem" or some trouble-shooting method to provide intelligent information. This is a *test* machine and I *am* willing to *test* :^) tks for your indulgence. I am open to reinstalliing via a suggested path.
