Wireless Card compatibility?


Hi there, I am pretty mch a newb at linux. I have installed Ubuntu Dapper the newest version (I don't have the recent update which might have come out today or yesterday according to some posts, but I will be getting it). Anyways, I have Ubuntu dual booting with Windows Xp on my Dell laptop. I have a built in wireless card, I believe it is a broadcom chipset. Is there any driver or something I can install to get my wireless card working? Or do I basically have to buy like a cisco pcm-cia slot type wireless card? If you need any info, just ask and I'll repost with what I can find. Thanks for the help.
