Yes, the wired connection has an IP. The wireless connection fails.
That was the prompt I needed, I think. I just realised that it was still the
dhcp address. I had changed it to static with system-config-network so that I
could set the gateway and dns, but forgot to restart the network.
I've run yum-complete-transaction and it has completed, telling me that there
are no unfinished transactions. At last we are on the right track.
Yum update tells me that no packages are marked for update. What do I try
next?

As far as I can recall only one was offered.
ls /boot gives
config-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586
efi
grub
initrd-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
System-map-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586
vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586

First... Probably a dumb question. When you upgraded your computer you were in runlevel 3
and no X Windows session (ie KDE, Gnome, etc) was running correct?
Next things we can try
1) Assuming you're in runlevel 3 run startx. Do you see any errors in the console
output?
2) Backup and /etc/sysconfig/Desktop if its there and delete the original. Then run:
init 5
Any difference in behaviour
3) While in runlevel backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then delete the original try running
startx or init 5 and note what if any changes have occured.
