Hello,

  Neither Fedore-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso nor
  Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso on a laptop seemed to detect 
  the wireless network.  The laptop has Dell Wireless 1510
  Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card and refs [1, 2] seem to indicate 
  that necessary drivers/software are in Fedora by default 
  since late 2008, with the latest update being in 
  December 2010.  My windows laptop lists my home network 
  as "WPA".  What needs to be done to get on the internet 
  from either live CD?

  Thanks,

  --Suresh
