The kernel is intentionally small and does not have network support. You will need to insert the correct module for your wireless card.

At the baslinux site there is a link to a list of network modules.

16-bit pcmcia cards are supported:
3com and some other ethernet cards
wifi cards orinoco and aironet, wireless B (WEP for orinoco but not WPA).

I doubt any USB network cards are supported.

puppy linux boots in about 30 seconds on my 2001 laptop but not with qemu.
A web search found alpha and beta puppy linux for raspberry pi and that you can emulate raspberry pi in linux.

Hi all,

My name is Devid and I'm a CS student in Bologna(IT). For a public
presentation, I would like to emulate an OS on a raspberry pi using Qemu.
For this reason, I've found BasicLinux that boots amazingly fast (20s)
compared to many others (e.s. tinycorelinux that takes 7minutes ).

The main problem is that when I boot BasicLinux on Qemu (on
Raspbian/MacOS/Ubuntu) I am not able to get a working network interface.
