Wireless connection


Hi,
after reinstalling Ubuntu 10.04 I'm here again!!
My PC is dual booting with WinXP. I've got a wireless connection with a D-link (by Alice) USB adapter model DWL-G132. On WinXP it works, on Ubuntu it doesn't... It doesn't see the key (I think...). What should I do? I've already tried the last month to configure the net on Ubuntu using ndiswrapper (I found it on Google) but it doesn't work, now I want to try again (maybe also with ndiswrapper if necessary).
Someone can tell me what to do?

ps: I'm quite inexpert...

You can check USB portion in boot-up log message and maybe you can find out some clue.
