- The wired connection works (I'm using it now)
I can 'see' various wifi networks, including my own. I select the applicable network, enter the WPA/WPA2-PSK password (correctly), and wait for the connection to link. After some time I'm asked for the password again. i.e. no connection
I have tried disabling the security on the router - same result, no connection
I can connect successfully to the same network using a Windows 7 laptop and various android devices - I'm reluctant to experiment with the router too much in case everything else stops working!
Before I installed Mint, I had XP on this laptop, which connected using the same hardware

* V. querying DHCP...
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
