Slax popcorn has a lot of the wifi drivers installed. Your first mission is finding out which drivers you need for the hardware and then getting them installed ;)

You are in for a very long ride then.. wireless and linux don't mix that well.
http://www.mrbass.org/linux/slax/
1. Dowload Wireless_Atheros ZIP drivers and unzip to temp directory (i.e. /Wifi )
here
2. Download latest Ndiswrapper driver:
NDISwrapper - Home
3. open terminal and untar Ndiswrapper*.gz
tar xfvz ndis*.gz
4. goto Ndiswrapper folder
cd ndis*
5. Install Ndiswrapper
sudo make
sudo make install
6. remove the module ath_pci to let ndiswrapper to use the wifi
sudo rmmod ath_pci
7. blacklist of modprobe to avoid it loading on the startup
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist -common
#roll to the bottom of the list and add the following line:
blacklist ath_pci
#Key: Ctrl+X to exit
#Key: Y to confirm save file
8. Reboot
9. After kenerl loaded open terminal and go to Atheros folder to install the driver
cd /wifi
sudo ndiswrapper -i net5112.inf
10. install to probe
ndiswrapper -m
11. load ndiswrapper everytime startup
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
echo "ndiswrapper" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
12. At this point wireless enable, press the wireless key on keyboard.
guide from one of those stupid sudo using distros...

slax is a boot disk if that is what you mean.
d/l the wifi stuff to a flash drive where it will run from quite happily once you are booted.

If you want to try catching me online (don't know much about wireless stuff TBH) I can usually be found on irc.villageirc.net #juliaskitchen or #linux-chat
