Ubuntu, Laptop, Wireless card and Mac Airport

[Raoul Snyman]

hi guys,

has anyone had any experience with the above set of hardware?
the reason i'm asking is that a friend of mine has given me a linksys wireless 
network card for my laptop, and although ubuntu seems to detect it fine, i 
cannot get it to link to the wireless hub, an apple-mac "Airport". My friend 
apparently connects fine from his windows laptop, so why can't i?

i've googled and linuxquestions.org'ed, but can't seem to find anything...
