I have installed and used CentOS on laptops just fine. The last two even had the internal wireless work without effort. You may need to do some work to get the wireless functioning okay - NetworkManager seems to help if you use both wired and wireless. [...] I'd just try it and see, one can always grab another distro if CentOS is really too difficult to get functioning.
IIRC, the farthest I've come is to get the OS to see the card, this was CentOS 5.2 with some non-standard repos enabled (madwifi, dkms other stuff). Connecting to my network using WPA2 and having the wifi NIC getting an ip from dhcp-server are other issues.
I can't really say I know what I'm doing when it comes to wifi on linux, unfortunately. 8-/
