The OP was wondering if this was possible from the live CD - I'm
wondering if installing a (missing?) package is the right solution in
/that/ case.
For (normal) CentOS, I have used a USB plugin wireless adapter on my
laptop with excellent success, although it is not as easy as (okay, I
won't name that other excuse for an OS) 1-2-3 - it takes some looking
to find the whole enchilada, but it /is/ find-able.
