Hi,
I turned my wireless connection off in an attempt to keep the battery going for a bit longer.
Now when I try and turn it back on the computer freezes.
I'm running Nadia Cinnamon 64bit. Laptop is an emachines e732z.
Any help?

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
