hum...
try this again after suspend (when it doesn't work)

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r rtl8187
sudo modprobe -r mac80211
sudo modprobe rtl8187
also post this as you may also need it to report a bug.

Code: Select all

sudo inxi -U

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

Thanks that suggestion did not work.
At the suggestion of this link

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... 5&page=2

and its solved fork tried this

Code: Select all


sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config
SUSPEND_MODULES="rt2800usb"
and this.

Code: Select all


sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config

"SUSPEND_MODULES="\rt2800usb\""

the first seems to stop wifi working on fresh boot second does not solve the problem.

all of them seem to make sense but trying all at once doesn't, the systems they are used on have different hw, drivers and especially kernel.
On a fresh install of Mint 17 I could probably get to something (even if it's just reporting a bug) but on yours too many things have been changed so it just doesn't make any sense going back then trying something else.
I'm lost....

If nothing else change the file so it has your module instead of rt2800usb, which is rtl8187
