There's no wireless network devices support in hurd.
It is definitely *possible* to have wireless drivers working in Hurd,
and porting drivers from other kernels (like Linux) to GNU Mach (the
Hurd's kernel) has ever been the way used by the community to have
drivers in Hurd.
Quite interestingly, wireless drivers require more interaction between
users and the kernel, and this need can perhaps be an advantage for
the Hurd, given the architecture.
Please be aware that doing this will require *LOT* of work.
