Hi There,



If Ubuntu can not find a driver you will need to run the NDISWrapper utility and follow the directions carefully.



You will also need the installation disk that came with your wireless adapter and insert it into the optical drive when requested.



NDISWrapper is a utility that can install the windows drivers into Ubuntu and make them work.



If NDISWrapper doe not work for you check the Ubuntu forums the folks there are very helpful.



Hope this has helped,

You don't say what the problem is, i.e. what you've done up to this point to try to install it or if you've tried to install it but it's not working.



Do you have the box the adapter card came in? If you do, you need to check that box and see if it lists compatible operating systems. Many wireless cards only work with certain Windows systems or Windows and Mac. Or you can look the name of the card up online and see what systems it works with.



If that's not an issue, then did a disk come with the card that has the drivers you need to install for the card to work? If so, you need to put that disk in the CD-ROM drive, go to wherever you go on Linux to add new hardware and search for the drivers on that disk. If not, I suggest you do an internet search for the drivers by typing in the name of your adapter card and ';driver'; so you can download the drivers.
Here is the Official Ubuntu Wireless Documentation
