I am able to get online again by running the following commands
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
sudo dhclient eth0
(Fortunately, I have a Ethernet I can plug in to.) I have to do this every time I reboot. This is inconvenient as a usually use Desktop Sharing with another computer as the client. I use an SSH tunnel for security. This means that every time I reboot, I have to physically access the computer's console to enter the ifconfig and dhclient commands to get the computer back on the network. I tried to reinstall network-manager and network-
Thanks for your assistance.

Before I submitted this, I had run the following command, per the web page mentioned above.
sudo apt-get install libnl-3- 200=3.2. 21-1 libnl-route- 3-200=3. 2.21-1 libnl-genl- 3-200=3. 2.21-1
After submitting this, I ran the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install network-manager
network-manager was reinstalled, and my server gets connected to the LAN again automatically after I reboot. network- manager- gnome was also reinstalled. I'd like to know if I can safely do
sudo apt-mark unhold libnl-3-200 libnl-genl-3-200 libnl-route-3-200
For now, I'll just stick with the downgraded libnl packages as I don't want to have more networking problems.
