I have been a Mepis user for over a year now. I gave up Windows completely when I built my first computer from the ground up and didn't want to fork out money for junk.
I then tried the livecd (3.4 I think) on my Averatec laptop, and when the wireless didn't work right away, I didn't proceed further with the install (out of laziness). My hard drive has since failed (on the laptop) and I tried 6.5. After configuring my wireless network through the Mepis Utility and a reboot, the wireless worked without installing any drivers and ndiswrapper. Kudos to Mepis for an awesome distro that worked for me right out of the box - or should I say download.
