Oh boy..Good luck with that. You need to check into the Ubuntu support boards
and find a "Wizard" to help you. You'll need to find a compatable
driver and
most likely configure the settings yourself. Ubuntu gave me a hard time with my
wifi card some years ago. Computers don't come with modems anymore. You might
have to use a Windows driver. There's special software for Ubuntu that you can
run to install windows drivers. Again.. search the Ubuntu  support boards. Good
luck.
