Any chance you put the computer to sleep and the battery ran out, or it wasn't allowed to come out of sleep properly for some other reason such as crashed on wakup.

The reason I ask is that there was/is (I think it's been fixed in newer releases though) a bug in network-manager that if your computer wasn't let out of sleep properly that it would turn off the networking and it make it extremely difficult to get it turned back on.

If this is what happened, simply delete this file and reboot:
/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state

It's safe to delete that file no matter what, it will be recreated and hopefully if that is what was wrong all the "fixes" didn't break the networking more. :)

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?
