This was from some kind off line help from Brandon Vincent.

A 10.04 LTS, (spouse refuses to upgrade,) kernel was updated this
morning, (Jun 6, 2014,) and the networking of the new kernel,
2.6.32-61 did not work. The old kernel was 2.6.32-60.

This is specifically for a 10.04 LTS kernel that was updated today,
ONLY.

To revert back to the 2.6.32-60 kernel in 10.04 LTS:

    1) vi /etc/default/grub
    2) change GRUB_DEFAULT=2
    3) update-grub

The new kernel was installed in 3 machines before I got it stopped,
and this, (apparently,) worked an all three machines.

    Thanks,

    John

BTW, to find the list of kernels available to grub, boot holding the
shift key down, and a list of available kernels will be printed to the
terminal, (they are numbered, 0, 1, 2, ...) In my case, the 2.6.32-60
kernel was number 2.
