Seth, I can assure you I have not installed any additional software, it can only have come via the automatic updates.
This is the update that failed and started the problem. oem-wireless-rt2x00-1044172 driver in DKMS format. OEM-Wireless-rt2x00-1044172-dkms (Size : 6.0mb) This was listed under other updates. I have now purged this file and reinstalled the backports package and guess what ITS WORKING!!!!!! My final question is, do I continue to install updates or am I likely to get the same problem?
