Fedora 29 - Wireless broken after sleep

here is the environment:

• Hardware: Dell Inspiron 15 (3573)
• Software: Fedora 29 - 4.19.8-300.fc29.x86_64
• Wireless: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev 83)

Here is the problem:

After a sleep/wake cycle (either close/open lid or systemctl suspend), the wireless no longer works. The wireless icon on the top of the screen changes to the Ethernet icon (this laptop has no wired internet) and upon clicking that, shows the wireless icon greyed with no network name. "Select Network" returns nothing. Turning network off/on does not help. The system hangs for a few seconds every minute and is basically unusable without a reboot.

Upon waking up this is what dmesg shows me:

[  451.508561] Restarting tasks ...

After the call trace and register dump, I see this message repeatedly, in sync with the laptop hanging :

journalctl reports this:

I don't have the ability to resolve this myself - I changed wireless cards so I do not think that is the problem.

I am looking for a workaround or better yet a fix for this issue. Thanks in advance.
