You could try removing and reloading the relevant kernel module, which
might be r8712u, based on https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x
So, try "modprobe -r r8712u && modprobe r8712u" as root.
I have to do this for a pci wifi adapter, when I start the laptop after
hibernation. Actually, that reminds me: I also have a usb adapter which
occasionally has the problem you have, though caused by the built-in pci
adapter. It might be related to them both being part of the rt2x00
driver family. After waking up from hibernation, if the pci adapter
--- using rt2500pci --- was in use before, I have to either reload or
remove its module, to get the usb adapter --- using rt2800usb --- to work.
But if I've removed the rt2500pci module, then the rt2800usb module
will survive the hibernation.
