  1. Go to Ubuntu forums with this question, they are more qualified to answer it. I used ndiswrapper and the win driver in Mandriva for a similar problem (Ubuntu stinks)


  2. Ok, I don't think you were wanting opinions and commentary on people's thoughts on what Ubuntu smells like from one of the previous answers, but anyway you will need to know what type of wireless card you have. Or, I should say the chip inside the card and If I were betting I would bet you have a broadcom chip they are pretty common in lots of different brands. You are probably going to need to enable a restricted (proprietary) driver. Ubuntu makes this very easy to do with their hardware drivers feature, but you will need a wired connection to get this going. I do highly suggest you go to the ubuntu forums because there is stuff in great detail describing this but it is a pretty easy process. The forums will also have the answers in case you run into difficulty.

  3. Step 1 . Find a Ubuntu wireless driver

    Step 2 . Install the drivers
