ndiswrapper can use a Windows driver for your wireless usb, PCLOS includes it with the kernel, as does Puppy.I am not distro trolling here, just that the fact is I chose these distros due to the fact that I could connect with my wireless cards, running the live CD, and nothing else but a flash drive or CD with the drivers on it. Only two I've tested that did this, although some of their community remasters do also. The GUI walked me right through it, only had to provide drivers (.inf/ with sys in the same folder) and the wireless router's key. With so many people using wireless today it should be a no brainer to include it with the basics.
