Well, I fixed mine by backing up data, then reflashing.

I also faced a similar issue after doing an upgrade in n900 terminal. I read this post but i didn't know how to edit resolv.conf. So reflashed and the problem is not seen any more.

The problem was, as I thought, with maemo-pc-connectivity. Through what is I assume a bug, it seems to have managed to manipulate my network configuration files into a state which meant that the local loopback interface had disappeared entirely.

Somehow the following files were broken and needed fixing:

/etc/resolv.conf
Contained nothing but a comment line. I restored this to its original state from another N900.

/etc/network/interfaces
Contained just USB networking config from pc-connectivity-manager. I re-added the lines for lo and eth0 from a working N900 at the top.

Rebooting after making these changes caused my networking (and sound) to reappear. I hope this can be of some use to anyone who runs into similar problems.

If anyone would like more information to track down the cause of the problem, just shout.

You should reflash EMMC too, so do it in this order:

FIASCO
EMMC, and then again
FIASCO
