Thanks for replying. As I mentioned the WiFi on the same box runs fine from Ubuntu or from Windows.

Here are the lspci and lsusb

Fedora Core 21, KDE spin, all patches up to date.

Have run for many months using WiFi almost exclusively. Started using OpenVPN a 
couple of months ago with a commercial VPN provider. (Not sure if that 
matters). That has worked fine.

Got notification from Apper that some packages needed updating, including 
kernel. Performed the update from the Apper UI.  I don't know if Networkmanager 
was in the list.

After reboot, WiFi no longer works, in fact, the whole WiFi interface has 
disappeared from ifconfig and from the NetworkServices UI. I plugged in an 
ethernet cable, and it works fine. Machine is triple-boot, FC21, Win7 and 
Ubuntu LTS 14.04. WiFi works fine in Win and Ubu.

I tried re-adding the interface, wlp8s0 using the Connection Editor. Seemed 
happy, but it still won't start nor  list in ifconfig
If the device isn't listed in ifconfig the the kernel cannot see it, and
thus NetworkManager can't see it.  It seems like there is either a
hardware problem with your wifi device, or the kernel has been updated
and no longer recognizes the wifi device.  What is the output of 'lsusb'
and 'lspci' when those commands are run in a terminal on your machine?

I found this in the messages log around the time of the failure, but googling 
this does not produce any meaningful help:

Help!
