Right, there is currently no Linux driver for this WiFi card (not
restricted to Ubuntu).

All of it works fantastic on my iBook G4 (including hardware 3D
acceleration, Radeon 9200), Ubuntu installs it right out of the box.
Even power management works great, I get about 4 to 5 hours of battery
life.
Enjoy!
