Yeah.... I just checked and nothing appears to be blocked
How do I give you enough info,  Brian? 

As for restarting the computer after the update I didn't really update it. I burned an install disk and did a fresh install preserving /home.

As for the wireless chip it is a:
Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

but it can't only be the card because the ethernet is not working either. No Networking seems to have been setup.

Have you checked to see if the radio got turned off?

To check, run as root:
rfkill list all

If it says they are soft blocked, just run:

rfkill unblock all

If it says they are hard blocked, then you have a switch on your laptop that got turned off, just turn it back on.

Everything was working great on my laptop and then I up graded. Well,
everything ran great still for about a month but then I shut my computer
down and then the next day I start my computer again but as it is
booting am told 'waiting for network configuration...' Then 'Waiting up
to 60 more seconds for network configuration...' Then the login screen
appears. I login but the network is still down until I open a terminal
and type:

ifconfig wlan0 up


Well, The little blue networking light comes on when I type ifconfig but
no pages will load and I can't rsync so I guess it doesn't work still. I
know it isn't the card because another OS I have on the computer acts
normally when it is loaded.

Could someone tell me what is going on?
