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.
