Well, back then, wifi drivers were a lot more finicky. Sometimes it was a several hour long endeavour to get the wifi drivers working on some new piece of hardware.
Fortunately, things have gotten better since then and a newer kernel usually fixes it, but USB wifi dongles still sometimes require building a custom driver. Since then though, documentation has gotten better, but it could just be that I'm more comfortable now I'm a dev myself.
