I haven't installed 6.06 yet, but for 5.10 I had to install ndiswrapper
to use my Linksys wireless pcmcia card. Then used ndiswrapper to
install the driver (which I downloaded from Linksys's site). Then used
Ubuntu's built-in network configuration tool to add the particulars --
id name and encryption code, for example.

I suspect the same drill may hold for 6.06 (tho I'm open to the good
news that such contortions are no longer necessary ;-)  )

Best,

Pete
