Rick,

I am not sure this is helpful but the same thing happened to me on my Ubuntu
machine after  an update. The only way I could get my wireless card to work
was through command lines. I was going to let it be until I returned home
but decided to work on the problem here where I have access to an unsecured
router. However, it became a pain to use command lines because every time I
woke the computer up from hibernation I would have to guess whether my
connection would be eth0 or wlam0. So I downloaded my wlan drives from Dell,
completely removed ndiswrapper and then reinstalled ndiswrapper and finally
my driver. My networkmanager is now working again. No one on Ubuntu forum
had any real idea what happened but whatever happened did so after
installing updates and rebooting.
