I don't know what wireless card your laptop has, but mine has a Broadcom 4306 and it seems Ubuntu just refuses to connect to my wireless network through that card. I tried Mepis 6 RC2 (which is based on Ubuntu), and while it didn't work out of the box, it took me under 5 minutes to get the laptop connected to my WiFi network.
