Ubuntu will and does a good job, I think Mepis will, also Yoper. Definately
Linspire will, and configure just about anything (Linksys USB wi-fi
adapter).
Other distros are configurable too but the first time may hold some
challenge.

Subject: [Cialug] Question: Distro with auto wireless configuration?
Is anyone aware if there is a current distribution of Linux that will auto
configure a wireless network PCMCIA card and seek a DHCP IP during
installation?
