Answer 1

I also really like Ubuntu as a Linux alternative; however, that particular OS is well known to have problems with WiFi.  I would suggest requesting help from the Ubuntu forums, or choose a Linux OS that's better suited for your system like PCLinux.

Answer 2

Okay the thing is, Ubuntu {more beautiful than words} Is not such a good thing for wireless. You can turn on the card using NDISwrapper and such, but you still have to turn your WEP key into a hex. Use the ubuntu forums for help
