Having trouble compiling madwifi

[jobo1313]

Last week I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Sony vaio VGN-NR220E. But the wireless didn't work. The driver didn't show up. I read that I needed to install madwifi. I downloaded it and tried to compile it. Then a bunch of errors came up saying that it couldn't find the c headers. I tried multiple codes such as:
gksudo aptitude install build-essential
gksudo apt-get install gcc
None of these worked.

I was told to type in lshw -C network I don't see why
But anyway here it is:
~$ lshw -C network
