Just downloaded and installed this (Through the Windows Wireless Drivers selection under System>>Administration).
Nothing's working, and to be honest, i'm getting a bit pissed off with Ubuntu having poor wireless support 'out-of-the-box'.
Please post your hardware information. This will help!
Hmmm.. I have just installed another card with atheros chip (AR5212/AR5213 - lspci says), and it connected to accesspoints "out-of-the-box".
However, to make an access point of it (for that it has been bought), i had to do some low-level things (with wlanconfig) and read man-s. The trouble is that the kernel driver does not allow switching modes (ad-hoc/Managed/Master...) without restarting the driver.
The following worked for me:

Have a read, maybe it's what you are looking for.
You need to havepackage installed. You need to use native drivers, that come with Ubuntu. wlanconfig is a tool, included in the package.Code:madwifi-tools
Finally got it working. It turned out that I somehow had two drivers installed, and under Hardware Drivers this was causing neither of them to work properly. I disabled one of them and entered my wireless settings in to the System>>Administration>>Network box thing.
So yeah, it works now. Woo.
Pokeh,
How do you disable drivers?!? Still stuck in WinXP mode!
I'm running 7.10...
