What did you upgrade to? was it just a minor update to 14.04 LTS, or was it the upgrade to 14.10?
On the networking front:
Does `ifconfig -a` return a set of interfaces that you would expect?
Does `dmesg` list your device getting loaded and registered (which might
just mean a device mapping issue).
I recently did the 14.10 update and because of the switch to systemd
needed to:
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules because the device that
was living as eth1 for the last year was now being mapped to eth0, but
it took a delete of the persistence rules to get everything to reset.
