It’s hit or miss with wireless depending on what your card is and what OS you’re using. I’ve tried mulitple Linuxes because I like to play with different ones. On some, my card was seen and configured during install. On others, the card wasn’t picked up during install, but could be configured after. On some, my card wouldn’t work at all.
