I found the following from a google search:
MEPIS works with most older WiFi cards but Wireless-G type cards are supported
only if they utilize an Atheros chipset. Vendors who use the Atheros chipset
include D-Link, NetGear, HP, IBM, NEC, and Toshiba. However, this could
change at any time. Do not assume that all Wireless-G products from these
vendors use an Atheros chip.
Broadcom chips are not yet supported by MEPIS. The Broadcom chips are used by
Apple, Belkin, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, Compaq, and Linksys.
