I speculate it is an unintended consequence of the OLPC OS renaming of
the built-in wireless device, which happens during boot.  This
renaming is done to ensure compatibility across all releases of OLPC
OS, but it is not normal Fedora behaviour.

I suggest removing that feature in future XSCE releases, to bring the
system back to normal Fedora behaviour.
