    Have you already checked the Hardware Driver to make sure if you need restricted drivers, that you're using them? System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, or if you use the Main Menu instead of Menu Bar, Ubuntu logo > System > Administration > Hardware Drivers.

    It's a complicated process but if you read this post from the Ubuntu user forums, and then this one, you should be able to get your wireless working.

    Good Luck..
