    Help reqd in installing wireless usb adapter on fed 14

    Hello all,
    I am fed up on trying to install my newly purchased usb wireless antenna to my fedora14 machine; so I seek help of all you linux masterminds out there. It worked well in my Win XP. Please help me in setting up it to my Fedora. [I have been trying to get some solution from google as well from past 2 days which did not help].

    The device model is : Aztech Wireless-N USB2.0 - WL552USB

    In the Network configuration, under Devices tab, there is a profile that is checked but the status is 
    Inactive. This is of type Wireless and is created automatically when I first installed and setup the rt3070 device using website instruction after downloading rpm files and installing. I copied these to my desktop.
    
    [rajani@brs ~]$ cd Desktop
    [rajani@brs Desktop]$ ls
    wireless
    [rajani@brs Desktop]$ cd wireless
    [rajani@brs wireless]$ ls -l

    Now the wireless worked and I can acess the internet. But when I rebooted, I am no where. The device is not recognized. The network icon at top right is crossed and  does not list the wireless option like before. I think somewhere I need to setup those in the boot time files but not sure where?
    Also when i try to install using root  (do the same thing as before to install) it says
    [root@brs wireless]# rpm -ivh *rt3070*.rpm
    warning: kmod-rt3070-2.3.0.4-1.fc14.1.i686.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID dbb6c70d: NOKEY
