Cheers Rob That article looks like just the ticket - all I've got to do now is understand it!

Doing a quick Google search popped up this... http://modelr.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/how-to-get-wireless-network-on-ubuntu -server/ If you card works out of the box without any drivers then you may find that this guide works (just skip the ndiswrapper stuff and go straight to the WPA section). Hope this helps, I'd be interested to know if you manage to get it working.
