I've attached the information for 3.13.9. I will get the 3.13.10 info when I can shut down and reboot my machine ... will be later as I'm using my machine for work.

Ok, posted the requested information. Please let me know what additional information you require. Thanks!
I see you're loading the virtual box drivers in the 3.13.9 kernel. If you remove those drivers does 3.13.10 boot up as expected? There doesn't seem to be any attempt to even load a portion of the drivers that should be loaded. Perhaps the vbox module loading service is failing and preventing the rest of startup from working. If you run 'modprobe iwlwifi' manually, does wireless start working?
I did attempt to run "modprobe iwlwifi", but wireless still did not work. I was expecting it to also. I can try to remove vbox and see if that helps. Obviously, though, I can not run without vbox. So this will not be a long term solution. But I'll try it for diagnostic purposes.
Do you have anything else in your logs that might provide more info? What does 'modprobe iwlwifi' report when you run it? Is it loaded after that?
Ok, so you must have been right. I removed Virtualbox (which I had downloaded from Oracle Virtualbox web site) and booted up 3.13.10 and wireless was working. I then reinstalled Virtualbox. It pulled in a kernel module for 3.13.10 as a dependency. I was then able to reboot and everything (wireless and virtualbox) were both working. I'm not sure why the change as I've not had to in previous kernel upgrades have to worry about Virtualbox kernel modules but apparently I do now. Any idea on why that is?
Sorry, I really don't know why you had issues because of virtualbox. Fedora doesn't provide or support it, so you might want to discuss it with whomever you got virtualbox from.
Ok, I understand. THANK YOU very much for all of your help!
