If every distro included every possible driver for the myriad of peripherals out there, there wouldn't be any room on the CD or DVD for anything else.

Even if the drivers you want are available, it is too late to get them on the Mint 9 CD. That is already frozen except for bug fixes resulting from RC 1 testing.
Hardware drivers in general are not the responsibility of the Mint developers. They are part of the kernel and all Linux distros using the same kernel will have mostly the same driver loadout (with the possible exception of proprietary drivers from companies like Nvidia, ATI Radeon, and Broadcom)

If some wireless driver is not being included, you could perhaps search to find it..wylton wrote:I know more my friend want to install mint 9, (o ubunto), but miss driver of wireless...

But if it is not being included in that distribution, there might be a reason beyond packaging requirements; in which case you will have to integrate that selection by yourself..
