cant get zonet (marvell chipset) working in ubuntu server?

Question: I am new to linux. I installed ubuntu server 7.1 because I already was running some ported server apps in windows beforehand on the spare desktop that now has ubuntu. It is not recognizing my wireless pci card. a hunch is that it is because it was the server install, what servers use wireless? Anyways, lspci outputs some irrelevant stuff and "04:01.0 ethernet controller: marvell technology ltd. 88w8335 [libertas] 802.11b/g wireless (rev 03)" which is right. iwconfig gives lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extensions. I have no idea what to do. The card is zonet zew1692a and can be found at tigerdirect. There was an error during install about the network being configured but there wasn't anything I could do during the install. I have also asked this on the ubuntu forums. I have no idea, this is the first thing I've done on linux besides make a text document and run around in firefox on my friends box (with KDE and not pure prompt). btw https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/23322 for the ubuntu forum question edit; zew1602a not 92a

Answer: Have you tried the NDIS wrapper, it allows windows drivers to work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper I had to use it on one wifi card I had it just wouldn't load without it. I finally just switched to cards that work, Atheros, and Broadcom sets seem much more stable and easier to get running. I checked http://www.zonetusa.com/download.asp didn't even see that card listed! Is it a 1602 or 1692???
