My two cents - I'm having the same problem and have (partially) solved it. I'm using a fairly generic PC (Asus motherboard) which dual-boots Windows and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (The version from the LinuxCNC CD, but installed on the hard drive)
I have a Netgear WNA3100 USB Wireless adapter that works "out of the box" with Windows 7. I had quite a time getting it to work on Linux. The key, as others have commented, is using ndiswrapper. This thread on the Ubuntu forum gives the details of my struggle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1695036&page=14%20Icon=gnome-fs-bookmark At this point, wireless works about half the time on boot-up. If it doesn't work (the "antenna" icon at the top left of the screen pulses forever) a reboot seems to always solve the problem. I've tried other options like using ifconfig to cycle the adapter off and on, but only a reboot seems to work reliably. I suspect the problem is timing on a cold boot, but I have neither the technical knowledge nor the time/motivation to pursue it further. I can live with having to reboot occasionally.
