Juergen, You'll need more than the wireless drivers. the initramfs in ltsp has no support for wireless networks. You'll need to be able to configure the essid and wep/wpa encryption.
Also, if your card is pcmcia, then you'll really have an uphill battle, as there's no support for pcmcia in the initramfs. If you can handle those issues, then in order to build the new kernel modules, you'll need to build an entire kernel, and use the ltsp_kernel_kit to build the new initramfs. You'll probably need to modify the 'build_initramfs' script to grab the additional module(s). You can get the ltsp_kernel_kit from: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads It's the last thing on that page.
