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
