When I installed Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" on my Dell Latitude D830, the wireless did not work out of the box. Using ndiswrapper, I was able to get it working (Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" on a Dell Lattitude D830) and icon in my notification area at the top-right corner of my screen (nm-applet 0.6.5) would show a list of available WiFi connections and their signal strength.
Note: My BCM4328 wireless card is identified through the 'lspci' command as:

The first thing you'll need to do, is download the CORRECT Windows driver for your card from linksys.com. There are various versions for the card which will be displayed on the back of the card. If you aren't sure, then you'll want to use the drivers from the CD-ROM that came with the card. In my case, the card I am using is v3 and the driver I downloaded was v3.100.64.0a. The file was: WPC54G_driver_utility_v3%5B1%5D.1.zip. If you have downloaded the drivers, you'll need to extract the files to some temporary directory (I just did it from my desktop). If you're using the CD-ROM, you can just do it straight from the CD.
