The issue is that after a re-boot into Linux, I have no WiFi. Hard wired via Ethernet works perfectly. I have tried many of the usual suggestions on these forums, but the only one that works reliably (100% of the time), is to "...pull the power cord, pull the battery, hold the power button for 30+ seconds then re-connect and restart" When I do this, WiFi starts up instantly every time. I usually leave the machine suspended, and WiFi reconnects fine after waking from Suspend. Only after a re-boot is there a problem
rfkill shows NO hard or soft blocks, power management is OFF. If you need any other listings, please let me know
Suggestions as to a fix for this would be appreciated. Other than this one issue, I LOVE Linux and am looking forward to firing Win10 off all my computers, as soon as I can fix Mint.
Thanks in advance.
