did you by chance try to upgrade a fedora 10 install to fedora 11


it looks like fedora's software installer can not find the net .
there might be many reasons for this
1) failed "upgrade" to 11
2) you are behind a hardware router and f 11 is mis-configured
3) wi-fi not auto detected .
4) many more things

some more info would help
