First I want to thank Manual Amador and Andrew Morgan for your help. Using Manual's advice I was able to get into my frozen laptop. I then used Andrew's advice to backup all of my vm's except for sys-net and sys-firewall. Then I reinstalled Qubes OS v. 3.2. I have figured out what went wrong. Qubes on my laptop started freezing after a recent update. The update replaced qubes-netvm.service with a new qubes-netvm.service. This overwrote changes I made to qubes-netvm.service to make my Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5761 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe and BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter work. Unfortunately I did not backup the qubes-netvm.service to document the changes I made. So I am trying to remember what I did to get these cards working. But everything I have tried has not worked. I did the "Assigning Devices" work around listed here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices/ and This does not seem to matter on the BCM5761 Ethernet card. But it does seem necessary for the wireless card. Right now I have the wireless card disabled in the BIOS figuring that I will get each card working one at a time. So the Ethernet card shows up and I have it assigned to the sys-net vm but it will not get an IP address. I have live booted the laptop with Knoppix and I can get an IP address and use the Internet so I know the Ethernet card, the cable, and the residential gateway are all working fine so it has to be some kind of configuration problem in Qubes.
