Linux Mint 17: Cannot connect to wifi after suspend

Post by ColoneLinux »

I just installed Linux Mint 17 as a dual boot with my existing Windows 7.
So far, everything is working well except for suspend on Mint.
When I resume from suspend, I get automatically disconnected from WiFi and become unable to connect to any networks. Restarting the computer fixes this, but I'd prefer not to have to completely restart every time I use Linux Mint. I've already searched for solutions, they involve creating a config file in a "config.d" folder, but the solutions didn't do anything.

In case this helps, this is the result from running mintWifi.

Hi,


you could try this to force reconnection at resume.
