Fedora Live- wireless not working

[j13860]

Hello I ran the fedora 14 live cd in my laptop which currently has windows 7-

Hp G62t

* Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
* Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor P6100 (2.00 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
* 4GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm)
* 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
* Wireless-N Card (RealTek RTL8191SE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter)
* Intel HD Graphics

The wireless did not work, I went to network connections and clicked wireless and nothing was shown I could only gain internet access through ethernet so my question is this,
If I install Fedora will my Internal Wireless card work?

No. The driver it needs does not come with Fedora 14 kernels. But people have made devices with that chipset work in Fedora by compiling a driver available from Realtek. Some people say that it uses the same driver as the RTL8192SE chipset. It should be easy to try it and find out. You could even try it in that live system by using your wire connection to install packages for compiling source and to download the driver tarball from Realtek. Then compile it, restart NetworkManager, and check for networks. No promises.
