I just did a quick search on this card and it looks like it is a Broadcom 4328 card. If that is the case, you could try:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff

Or you can go with the Broadcom drivers also:

This link will tell you how to download the wl driver and install it.

If you do have a wired connection and have no problems with using a test kernel, you can use this link:

Before you try this, you will want to go into the Terminal and type:
lspci -nnand see if the card shows that it is a Broadcom 4328 card.

beautiful. this worked for my card.

make sure you do the 'Hardy Bug Fix' if you're using hardy. my module in this step was e1000e instead of ssb so i just swapped that whenever it was mentioned in the code.
