Wifi crashing/missing every other suspend/resume (Also prevents sleep) WORKAROUND

Update: apparently Dell/Canonical has implemented their own workaround for this in package oem-workaround-bt-auto-resume-lp1774582

Update 2020-01-06: This may have been fixed in mainline Ubuntu by an update to the linux-firmware package. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1849779
