(... Is the wireless switch on? ...)

Searching for
  linux Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804 wireless -windows
leads to
  http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=123934
which suggests the realtek is on the usb bus (!), so maybe you should run
  lsusb
as well? I haven't looked carefully, but that forum discussion seemed to
indicate some success, so it may be worth a look.

I also seen a hint that the realtek module may have had some
improvements in a recent kernel update (specifically 2.6.23 I think), so
perhaps (if you haven't already done so), if you perform the update
operation, the hardware will start being recognized properly.

I thought that ubuntu would do updates on first reboot, but perhaps you
chose not to allow them. To manually check, you would run
  sudo aptitude update
