I have tried it, and both common sense (based on a knowledge of USB and networking) and experience tells me that it is a Bad Idea™. Back when I got my high speed connection six years ago I refused to accept either a USB device or a dsl card that installed right in a PCI slot and needed a special windows driver. My stubborness and the fighting I had to do with the customer service people paid off; I was able to add an ethernet router to my system and have had very little networking related problems over the years. At first Knoppix refused to recognize my wireless cards, I simply didn't use wireless and tried each new release with my cards until fnally 3.8 recognized one and I could connect wirelessly. Perhaps I could have made ndiswrapper work before that, but it wasn't a priority issue for me.

3.7 pre-dates the union file system, so that limits install options a good deal (and of course I'm talking about Knoppix from CD or DVD here, if you think Knoppix should be installed to hard disk then we just have different religious views too diverse to find points of agreement). I would suggest making sure that the hardware matched the real world and didn't need special drivers that lock you into windows, and then using 4.0.2 of Knoppix. I wish you luck getting what you have working, but I can't provide any insight on how to do that.
