  This setup is for those wireless cards that seem to be detected but never seem to work. On my notebook using a Cisco Arionet 350 no matter what I did, to set it up it just would not work. The card was detected by the system the lights indicated that it was trying to talk to the wireless network, but it failed to get on the network. This tutorial was a quick answer.

• Network Manager
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
  Network Manager aims for Network Connectivity which "Just Works". The computer should use the wired network connection when its plugged in, but automatically switch to a wireless connection when the user unplugs it and walks away from the desk. Likewise, when the user plugs the computer back in, the computer should switch back to the wired connection. The user should, most times, not even notice that their connection has has been managed for them; they should simply see uninterrupted network connectivity.
