If your card is a Netgear WG311 you may have a problem. I've never been able to get that one to work with Ubuntu. Most every other card I've used Ubuntu found and installed without me doing a thing. Like the earlier post said, check out the forums and see it your card is compatible. As a general rule I've found the lower end peripherals have more driver compatibility problems than the better grade stuff. I always check before I spend a lot of money on a new gadget for my Linux box to make sure it will work without a lot of hassle.
