Have a look through this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
to see if you can find anything obvious. Then post back with information
that you tried using that guide + wireless device & system info.

I'd also recommend using google for your device using the search term
prefaced by 'ubuntu' - example: ubuntu +<device>. That generally will
get you hits for the ubuntu forum, this list, and launchpad the Ubuntu
bug reporting system. From those you can generally find out if others
are having similar issues. You can also try a direct search in launchpad by:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
and enter the wireless device in the search box. That may or may not
find anything.

  Same for launchpad answers:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu
Note that in 'answers' if you don't find anything for your device, you
can file a question there & someone (generally) will work with you to
try and resolve the issue - similar to the way that this list _usually_
works.
