We support devices that have open Linux drivers out of the box. 
ndiswrapper is included in the default kernels so there shouldn't be any 
nasty dependency issues. However, we can't ship Windows drivers 
ourselves.

madwifi is included by default, but as far as I know doesn't include USB 
support yet.
