And as I said, capitalize sentences and names, and use proper punctuation. And if you insist on signing your posts with your name, capitalize it and put it on another line.

Anyway, what do you mean by "downloaded onto USB drive"? What steps did you take to do that? Because downloading an image file and copying it into the drive (so that you see the .img or .iso file when you open the drive) is wrong and will not work.

I have an Aspire One (model D150) and have successfully loaded Fedora 14 LiveCD (from USB stick). Fedora 14 recognized the the ethernet and wifi out of the box without further configuration, so it might be useful to you.

In order to get it to work for you, you'll need access to another computer with internet access.
1. Download the Fedora 14 LiveCD .iso file to your computer. You can find it here: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
2. Then download and install the LiveCD Creator from Fedora's site: http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator.
3. Run the LiveCD Creator program and have it install to your usb stick from the .iso image. (You'll need a stick no larger than 4GB formatted FAT to allow the Aspire One to recognize it in boot.)
4. Once you've created your Fedora 14 USB stick, plug it into your Aspire One and hit F12 when you see the Acer splash screen and select the USB stick as your boot device.

Fedora will then load. Once it has started and you're on the Fedora desktop, you will see an icon to allow you to install Fedora to your computer. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Regardless if you decide to install to the computer or not, you should have working wifi and ethernet with the Fedora 14 OS.
