yes you can install you wireless card in damn small linux Most cards will work with DSL. The easiest are cards based on the "Prism 2" and "Orinoco" chipsets. All but the most exotic cards can be made to work. DSL runs on a 2.4.26 / 2.4.31 kernel, so, in theory, any card that works with a 2.4 kernel should work in DSL. to more about wireless card in damn small linux See this : http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/i...Wireless_Cards
I think you should use a software that is called ndiswrapper that you can use to make the windows drivers or you can go for driverloader if you find difficult in ndiswrapper this software enable linux to use the (closed source) windows drivers . it would be really difficlut to set wireless connection in dsl i think you should go for Puppy it is the best for wireless.
You can even try to Download and build compat-wireless or you can use Madwifi the software support artheros chipsets.
can you connect with a regular wired ethernet connection?
You can do it by installing ndiswrapper .
