If your WiFi card isn't supported out of the box you may need to compile and install the driver manually (if there exists a Linux driver for it). Or you can use
NdisWrapper which will make use the Windows driver for the card. This is usually done if no native Linux driver exists. Personally I'm using SUSE and had to compile and install the driver for my Ralink RT61 based WiFi card.
You can see a list of chipsets and models natively supported by Ubuntu
here. I haven't used NdisWrapper or Ubuntu though, so maybe someone else can provide more detailed help. You can also post directly on a Ubuntu forum. No better place to ask than where the experts hang out.
