I rebooted using a bootlable USB stick and the network wasn't there. I 
rebooted again into the same one and the network was there. I've seen  
several USB ethernet adapters for less than $15 on Amazon.  I guess I'll 
get one of those.

The system presents me with updates almost every day,  but I'm guessing 
I can rule them out since the problem persists when I booted from a 
PartedMagic iso I've had for several months.  Thanks.
