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.
Hi Baltar, thanks for the tips and that's a great link that I hadn't seen. Yeah, if I have much more trouble, I'll hop on the Ubuntu forum.
