I thought of that after the fact. For a desktop there's no reason not to have it wired.For those particular boards, wireless is probably not included. I didn't do a ton of research on the parts themselves, but at that price point, for a wireless connection you will most likely have to buy a wireless NIC for one of the PCI slots. Those are pretty cheap, although with a desktop, I would personally just wire it up.
Dropping wireless drives me up the wall, so anything that's not super mobile(phone or tablet) I like wired.
Question is, how hard is it to get the needed drivers and how do you get them if you cannot connect to the internet?Once you have the drivers installed for the hardware you have, which is pretty easy typically, you don't really have to mess with it anymore. The major distros like ubuntu and mint are pretty point and click.
