Try System Configuration (settings)>Internet and Network>MEPIS Network Assistant > interfaces and put a check in start at boot and start when plugged, then reboot & see if they stick. Updates did that to me a couple of times on b7 and that fixed it.

network lost - found

Thanks Jim - that worked...
There is still another problem (I will post in appro area) but it seems that when I boot into root it goes straight to terminal and when I close terminal the OS reboots.

same thing with live release

This just happened to me with the live update of 6.5: checking the "on boot" box and also switching from manual to automatic detection of DHCP fixed it.
