If you're looking for a distro that easily supports wireless, give SimplyMepis a try. It recognized my card without a hitch. Here are the particulars re: the wireless equipment:
The key is the chipset in the nic -- D-Link uses Atheros (among others, probably) and Mepis recognized it without a problem. All I had to do is enter SSID, WEP, etc. Just make sure that your card has the Atheros chipset.
No other Linux distro I have tried, including SuSE, Knoppix, etc., has been able to to that "out of the box."
