Oh this is going to be a dandy tutorial! With so many out there fighting to get wireless to work, this kind of help is always nice to see. Enter the Kubuntu Linux wireless tutorial for all!
You have finally bitten the bullet. Kubuntu Linux is installed on that computer of yours. Unfortunatly, you can’t use it to surf the web. It’s wireless care isn’t natively supported by Linux. Not to worry, this guide will teach you the basics.
Once you’ve installed Kubuntu on that shiny new laptop of yours, you’ll want to be able to connect to your wireless network.
First of all, download the appropriate drivers for your wireless card. There is a driver list here. You may want to burn these to a CD so you can get to them while in Linux.
Next, you need to install ndiswrapper. This program allows you to use your wireless drivers from Windows in your Linux install. Source: Diabolikal

I build and repair computers. My systems are all Slackware Linux. However, a customer is using Ubuntu. He followed it’s forums directions for installing his TP-Link USB wireless device with ndiswrapper, but the computer doesn’t see the device. I was hoping this tutorial would shine some light. These GUI based systems confused me. Much of what I looked for in a Linux Filesystem Standard system such as Slackware, has been hacked and moved in Ubuntu.
For instance, “visudo” opened in nano, not vi (or even vim). And nano is symlinked for some strange reason from /usr/sbin/nano -> /bin/nano — or something strange like that.
