Updates broke wireless

Last night I did updates, and after a reboot, wireless is broken. It is supposed to connect automatically, but it doesn't try. When I click on the network, it does nothing. Any suggestions? I haven't been able to try updating again because this is a big desktop computer. I'd also have to drag it downstairs to connect it to wired, I may do that later today. Anyone have similar problems?

Same thing when I try to connect via command line. I type in the command, hit enter, and nothing happens. (It doesn't hang, it just does nothing)

The wireless card is tp-link, with an atheros chipset.
