The option for a wireless connection keeps on disappearing. I have to restart the laptop in order to regain the connection and even then it usually only lasts a short while. I've had Linux Mint for a few months now and this is a recent problem; seems to have started a few days ago. (A)

I've included this because I've seen it being mentioned in other threads as a contributing factor but wasn't sure if I should play around with it or not. I'm still fairly to new this stuff.
