Honestly, I think you're better off checking on the ubuntu forums - 
it's been covered lots of times and they're really good at the 
diagnosis thing.  You should also check to see what type of chipset 
your wireless is using and cross-check that against the compatibility 
list.  The folks on Ubuntu Forums will need that info, too.

Also, you can check out "wicd"  http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ - Used 
this on an old machine (but new USB wireless dongle) that worked 
better than the default network-manager.
