The live mode boots nicely from a USB drive. But , as in previous versions of exegnulinux, no wireless network is detected, even after adding wlan0 in the preferences. Do I need to install exe on my HDD first, and/or connect with a wired connection and install something else?

Legal issues aside, some Exe users (and contributors) have asked that it remain strictly GPL. I know the curse of nonfree firmware only too well, some machine here require it.
You can use a wired connection first and install the appropriate deb from there.. or place the deb on the usb and "dpkg -i" it, in a "live" session or post-install . It can even be done automatically as a "live hook" (see live-boot man page)
What's your wireless device? (hwinfo and/or TDE "control center" can help identify that) also see https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
