Restart brought back a network connection. install says latest is already 
installed. (I note that install would not have worked if I did not have an 
Internet connection.)

HOWEVER, the icon for network manager is still gone and status on that is as 
previously described. SO, I can not choose a network and can not access my VPN 
connection.
