11.04 trashed a lot of wireless adapters that worked fine in many previous versions.  It seems to mostly affect Broadcom and Atheros (especially EeePC).  Regressions like this are bad, especially when they affect such commonly deployed hardware.  For my Atheros, the fix was UN-blackisting the atheros driver.  Google it.  There are many hits, mostly with Eee users.

If you have trouble, please respond and I can give more specific info, not immediately available to me.
