Having got well and truly hacked off with windows7 and slow boot times etc, I have crossed to linux and installed mint 17. It has worked perfectly apart from when I suspend it fails to reconnect.
I have tried this:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2004690 and by using
Network manager is there and it shows the wireless networks, however I can't connect to them. When I click it goes to the connecting circle and then fails.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. But I am a reall linux newbie so please KISS

perfect
and so is the report so far.
ok, let's try to force a bit the laptop (you probably have other items that do interfere with suspend that's why it acts a bit weird, this will slowly be corrected with updates over time)
Please open a terminal and run the following command to create a configuration file -
If that works you can make it restart automatically by creating a shell script in the /etc/pm/sleep.d folder. Open that folder and create a blank file called wifi_wakeup or whatever you like, doesn't seem to matter. Then put in it the following and make the file executable.
agree it does work but is dangerous as you remove the driver from the kernel and reenable it again ( a new kernel update could fail because of this setting) remember to disable it before you do an update.
tried this again by,
copy and past each of the commands into terminal and hitting return after each
on the final command when gedit opens, i copy and paste the entire text into the file that has opened, save and close it and then reboot
i then suspend and when i resume all i get is a spinning circle when it's trying to connect to the network and then the disconnected symbol.
However the network can be seen by my laptop, as can all the surrounding ones, it just won't connect to them
must be a "bug" in the driver for your internal card, try the other script to remove the driver from kernel and reenable it.
BTW why are you using the 32 bit version of Mint?
