From what I understand, this bug is about the laptop not resuming from hibernate but
booting. Mine boots just fine from following the instructions by Fedora. This is not a
problem.

that the laptop comes back from hibernate but the nm-applet does not. Basically, what
happens is that the nm-applet has the disconnected symbol. The network does work (at the
location it was working from when the laptop was hibernated). It will not work in a new
location simply because nm-applet does not have the ability to provide me with a list of
new possibly connections. I have not tried this part with ethernet but I suspect that the
general idea would be similar.

Where do you see an "nm-applet"? I have no such process on my F24
laptop, so how do you restart it? I just did a hibernate test. I'm
using ethernet and when it resumed, the connection status at the top
showed disconnected even though it was working. However, in the menu it
said connected and unplugging and replugging the cord reset the status
icon. I had wifi hardware disabled at the time and re-enabling it
automatically connected. It takes so long to resume that I really don't
want to try again with wifi enabled, but it does seem to be fine.
I use openbox and I have nm-applet (which controls NetworkManager using a graphical
interface from a system tray). The program is run using nm-applet but once on, it still
keeps running. What happens is after waking up from hibernate, I lose the ability to
change and get new connections. Specifically, I have a similar experience as you, in that
the connection status at the top shows disconnected even though it is working. But, it is
important to note that because the status is disconnected, I do not have any other wifi
networks shown to be available.
There was one problem on resuming. gnome-settings-daemon was
spamming
the pcscd process really badly for some reason. Restarting pcscd didn't
make any difference, I had to kill gnome-settings-daemon.

The process has to be repeated for every hibernate.

Please explain how you did this.
I used:
killall nm-applet
nm-applet &
and then the behaviour is back to normal in the sense that the applet shows
"connected" and I have the available wifi networks listed. The big issue is that
this has to be done every time since Fedora 24.

So, I guess the solution is to get rid of dracut-config-rescue. But it is still not clear
to me what this GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY does.
Many thanks,
Ranjan
