Very Likely you don't have IEE 802.11 drivers installed on ubuntu. Install it and enjoy 🙂(BTW getting driver ain't that easy!)

what version of Ubuntu and what laptop model?Wait a few days for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex to release it has much better wireless support or you could look up ubuntuforums.org

OT : @sushubh, ubuntu people havent messed up with nvidia drivers, it nvidia themselves who are to blame. I am running Fedora 9 , and Nvidia performance is ver very poor here too, in both Kde4 and Gnome. I am cursing the day I bought this stupid Nvidia card. I would have been much happier with Intel Integrated Graphics.
