Usually it is because I need the correct driver for that particular brand of wireless card. My current fix for this, is to build a USB with persistence, boot it up and compile the driver on the USB. I would like to make a USB more compatible with the different brands of wireless cards. Does anyone know of a way to compile the drivers before I burn the live CD?

Are the wireless drivers included in Fedora or one of the related
repositories like rpmfusion? You could make a new livecd that adds those
drivers, from whatever source, by adding a new repo line and the driver
name to the %package section of the livecd's kickstart.
