What's the reason to reset NM when it reports something isn't connected?
Just to ensure always-on connectivity as hard as possible?  Also, what
do you mean by "reset", what specific actions are you running to do so?
In my case, wpa_supplicant hangs every so many megabytes, and I have to
killall wpa_supplicant to restore the network connection.  I've been
wondering about a way to have NM do that automatically, since fixing
wpa_supplicant seems to be difficult.
You can just "kill -9 wpa_supplicant" from a script somewhere and NM
will restart the supplicant automatically via D-Bus activation.  Does
the hanging supplicant also block D-Bus communication?  Can you gdb the
supplicant and find out what function it's hung in?  Or is it not
actually hanging, but just not doing some requested operation?

But obviously, fixing wpa_supplicant would be preferable...
This has some stacktraces. The problem persists on several different laptops, with different Wifi chipsets.
