Ubuntu should be able find and install it off the cd you installed from. 
  Did you remove the cd from your repository list after install?  (do 
you know what I mean by that?)  How important is it to you to have 
wireless on here?  This may not be worth the bother to you.

The other suggestions that you purchase a hub/switch and hardwire this 
machine will get you the best connection possible with the least 
frustration.  (got $20-$40 and some cable?)
