You should make sure that you have the required kernel module
in /etc/modules so that it is loaded at boot time.
I found that my Centrino 2100 (module: ipw2100) did not work with the
Ubuntu installer (no I forgot to file a bug :-(.
I manually set it up in /etc/network/interfaces like:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
creates eth1
name Wireless LAN
pre-up modprobe ipw2100 ifname=eth1
pre-up iwconfig eth1 key [1] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pre-up iwconfig eth1 key [2] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pre-up iwconfig eth1 key [3] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pre-up iwconfig eth1 key [4] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pre-up iwconfig eth1 nick "name"
pre-up iwconfig eth1 power off
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_nick name
down modprobe -r ipw2100
wireless-essid ESSIDNAME
wireless-key open [2]
This is more the Debian way than the Ubuntu way I guess.
As long as you ensure that the module is loaded, it should show up in
the networking GUI OK.
