networking down

[Michael Havens]

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.
