Best Wireless Support?

Hello all,
I was wondering:
Which Linux Distrubution has the best support for wireless cards?
I have a X-Micro WLAN 11g PCI Card.
So far I've had the best support with Ubuntu 7.04.
I have not had any luck with SLAX, DSL, or Knoppix.
Knoppix was the worst.
How about you guys?

sidux.com :: debian based live cd development - Sidux has pretty good WiFi support, and Sabayon as well. But you can get wireless working the same on any distro, it's just a question whether out of the box or not.

Hi,

I have an intel wireless card in my laptop and my wireless worked out of the box only with the following two distros.

1. Kanotix 2007
2. Fedora 9 Alpha

I tried more than 10 live distributions, but only the two detected and installed the wireless drivers automatically.

Thanks,
Balaji.

I have a Linksys WMP54GX wireless adapter and it runs pretty well on Linux Mint 3.0 Cassandra.
