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
