can't connect to wifi "device not ready" - minesheep - 09-11-2019

Sometimes after suspending my LL 3.8 32bit laptop wifi get's grayed out to on state. I can't connect to wifi because there is no wifi networks. After turning wifi off and on by a hardware switch it says "device not ready" I have tried to
  1. Suspend again
  2. Hibernate
  3. turn wifi off and on with software
Rebooting fixes it, but can I force it to reload. This seems to be a software problem because it will not get fixed by hibernating.

Installing very old kernel didn't help. When I installed 3.16 kernel it worked few days and the then totally refused to boot with both kernels. Fortunately I had backed up which I almost never do. Now when I use
Code:
uname -r
command i get 4.4.0-165-generic. Maybe I make another backup just in case as it is a 60gb hdd it isn't a pain to clone it. Then i can install old kernel again because it worked just fine for few days. Also the hardware is very old thats why I tried old kernel. Rebooting always fixes it so I think it is a software issue
