It's possible you may need a firmware to use the card. Ubuntu may offer you a restricted driver for the card (usually appears in the notification area), other than that have you tried googling the wireless card model number and Ubuntu?
Doing a quick Google search myself I found this (although this covers an older release of Ubuntu, but you might find it gives you some pointers to get you started)...
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros It also looks like it is supported by the MadWifi driver... http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
