    The Zepto Zpro2 uses a Ralink RT2860 chip.

    You can use you WLAN in ubuntu but you have to install it with the windows drivers using the program ndiswrapper

    There is a better and easier way than ndiswrapper for Ralink RT2860 chips (that Zepto Zpro2 card uses),
    simply install this paket:

    https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/ppa/+files/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-0ubuntu1~ppa2_all.deb (Thanks to Launchpad- Team)

    Then your WLAN- device is named ra0 (not wlan0).
    Configure your network manager to use ra0 and then it should work without problems.

    for a detailed description (in German): for more information about drivers for RaLink- chipsets in ubuntu (in German):
