Doesn't look like it's supported: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetge ar

Though this may be severely out of date (but the only place to find out if yours exists, sadly.)

To test it, boot into a LiveCD first. If the card isn't immediately recognized, that doesn't mean there's no way to make it work, but it'll at least tell you whether or not this is going to be a possibly fruitless ordeal or nothing to worry about at all.
