Sure, init in rootfs is responsible for loading the wifi modules (drivers). If you check lines 327 through 345 (init - eclair-rootfs in XDANDROID Eclair - Gitorious), you will see this:

if [ -e "$card/modules-$(uname -r).tar.gz" ]

uname -r returns the operating system release level. If the release version doesn't match the zImage's release version, it won't load the wifi drivers.
