Bootable CD that includes support for wireless networking?

Im looking for a linux bootable/rescue cd that includes support for wireless networking. Knoppix seems to handle ethernet connections fine, but i cant see any support for wireless.

Is there any live CD distros out there with ndiswrapper on them?

If not, does anyone have any good links to pages detailing how to make a custom bootable cd?

Thanks.

The most recent version of koppix claims to have ndiswrapper. This is from the home page

The public download edition of 3.6 of KNOPPIX is now available via Bittorrent, and on the Knoppix-Mirrors. Some of the new features include:

* Linux Kernel 2.4.27 and, as a boot option, Kernel 2.6.7, both ACPI-enabled.
* KDE version 3.2.3.
* GIMP version 2.0.
* enhanced hardware autodetection and driver updates,
* the FreeNX server from Fabian Franz,
* ndiswrapper for loading proprietary drivers for wireless network cards.

good luck.
