Here's the results.

mysticventures at mysticventures-laptop:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost mysticventures-laptop.cortez-ross
127.0.1.1 mysticventures-laptop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

still no wireless option in Network Manger.

Any other ideas?  Thanks for the help.
