Loss of wifi

source: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2014/06/19/psa-fedora-21-networkmanager-and-dnf/ The"... core of NetworkManager smaller and more flexible by splitting out Wi-Fi support into the NetworkManager-wifi package. If you don’t have or don’t use Wi-Fi on your system, you don’t need to install stuff for it and you can save some disk space and RAM. If you suddenly find yourself without Wi-Fi, find a wired network connection and:"

dnf install NetworkManager-wifi
systemctl restart NetworkManager

--) detect screen resolution and properly display GUI
--) run in compatability mode (run as administrator)
--) run as '''liveusb-creator --reset-mbr''' by default  (this can be done in linux by editing the icon command or typing liveusb-creator --reset-mbr in terminal)
--)Fix the Download button on the GUI to work and be up to date."
