It works fine with the F15 live ISO.

I can't figure out what the difference is between my real F15 install and running the Live ISO.

Wireless "just worked" on this machine in F14 and has for a several releases now.  No problems whatsoever.

I've tried using both the KDE and Gnome applets in F15.  Neither one shows any available wireless APs.  Running the Live ISO, I see several.

What is the minimum set of packages that one needs to run wireless in F15 ?  I have a feeling I'm missing something.

Thanks
