Hi
On the issue of your wireless hardware, have you established what chipset it contains? Once you have done a "lspci" or 2lsusb" and note your wireless device, you can google for the Linux options, if any are open to you. Obviously, at that point you can then look at support for that chipset within different distributions.
It is not likely to be any distributions fault in respect of a shortage of available wireless support.

Subject: Ubuntu or Fedora which one
I have been using Ubuntu for a good while now and I am still using it
at home on my desktop which duel boots with Windows XP until I can get
more accessibility using a web browser with speech be that Orca or
Speakup.
Ben Fowler one of the Huddersfield Linux Group chaps who has been
helping me with my system at home didn't think that Speakup was being
dropped in the next release of Ubuntu but when we talked about it this
week at a meeting in Birstall which I managed to get to as a lot of
people attend both groups and I try to when I can get transport, he
said it would be a disappointing move if it was.
This makes me wonder if I should perhaps should switch to Fedora. I
know I don't have a hardware synthesiser and Speakup's enphasis is on
hardware speech but would it be a better move switching in order to
get both graphical and text console support?
I could of course stick with Ubuntu especially with me now having the
Braillenote which seems to give me access to Brltty but what does
anybody else think?
What hints would anyone give if I were to make a switch ie being able
to get access to configuring wireless Internet etc?
Trying to set up for Internet via wireless has not happened in Ubuntu
so I am still using my router which connected to my Ethanet port.
