In the case you lost your motherboard network port and you have only this card, you can update ubuntu by putting the installer of 11.10 on a CD or usb stick. In the installer they will give you the choice to upgrade your installation. This can delete installed program that are not in the new version, but at least, you will have a working network port.
So as the driver is in the kernel, you don't need to compile any driver. With the kernel version that support the card version you have, all should be automatic from that point.
