I'm here because today, suddenly, the network interface no longer appears. When I try ifconfig -a, I get:

juanch0x@Juan-Notebook:~$ sudo ifconfig -a

Before this happened I had other network called "rename3". EDIT: Last time it works was before download the automatic updates from ubuntu 

lspci -knn | grep Net -A2

Result

juanch0x@Juan-Notebook:~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:3290]
    DeviceName: Ralink RT3290LE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Ralink RT3290LE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter [103c:18ec]

SOLVED

I solved the problem reinstalling the drivers, for some reason, when i used the automatic updates, it was deleted, that was the reason of all this problem

Thanks Celtic Warrior for your help!

If you install custom kernel modules from source, you need to re-install them every time the kernel is upgraded.

To avoid it, you can install the driver using DKMS.

This happened to me and not even a reinstall of Ubuntu fixed it. What did fix it was turning off the pc, cutting power to it and leaving it for a few minutes (pressing the Power button while there is no power to it will also deplete any remaining electrical charge in the power supply). Then the wireless interface came back after starting it again. I didn't even have to reinstall.
