I had a problem getting wifi working on my HP Probook 4540s with Mint 14.1 Cinnamon. I tried a number of things but what eventually worked was downloading, compiling and installing the rt3290sta driver from the the Mediatek site http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_download ... hp?sn=5033
Wifi now works fine but I cannot suspend unless I first disconnect the wifi (i.e. from network manager) then turn off the wifi and bluetooth with the hardware button.
Otherwise it immediately wakes up again.
I think this works in Ubuntu 2013.4, so whould be fixed in Mint 15, but suspend/resume is important to me, so I would really appreciate help in fixing it now.

Re: rt3290 driver prevents suspend
Confirmed that wifi works in Ubuntu 2013.4, but bluetooth does not.
As suggested in the Ubuntu forums using this driver should solve it, but I have not tried that yet.
