Yes, but you won't like it. You have to be connected to a hard wire first.
Go to Menu->Administration->Additional Drivers. That will allow you to
install the driver. Here is what you won't like. It is slow to load and
install. When you connect via wireless and provide credentials (usually
a passphrase), those credentials will not be saved because you are running
it from the CD. Further, every time you reboot, you have to start the
process over. I sure wouldn't want to do it very much.

Do it the way I said above. It will work off the network icon on the
lower right. Right click on the icon and select the wireless network
from there.

It should work fine.

Look at the network icon on the lower right.
