You are correct, Smoothie does not support WLAN cards (yet, this may be in 
V2.0 when it eventually gets released).

Mandrake MNF is based on the Mandrake 8.2 distro with the 2.4.18 kernel and 
has some support for WLAN cards based on the Intersil Prism2 chipset (one of 
the most common).  I have not tested this though.
