This is going to largely depend on whether it is supported by the
kernel, not really a distro problem.  I know that built-in vs USB
makes some difference, but FWIW I had a huge amount of difficulty
finding any USB 802.11g device which would work reliably, and in the
end I'm using a USB 802.11b device which is fine.
