Using wireless network with Ubuntu?

I have an Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter thing, but I’m using Linux on a Live CD just now, does anyone know how to get the wireless card working with Linux Ubuntu? Do I need to install it?
Thanks x

Removing Grub Bootloader?

Ok, so we have a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu and Windows on two Hard Drives (XP on one, Linux on the Other) Well, it was working beautifully, well, me and my friend decided that we were gonna try to make our own linux using Linux From Scratch, well, that wiped the Hard Drive (the Linux one) so we gave up after having difficulties, well, now when we try to boot into windows, we get the Grub screen, and it says “GRUB Loading stage1.5.
“GRUB loading, please wait…..
Error 15
then nothing happens, we don’t have a Ubuntu live CD anymore, and i think i can get a windows recovery CD, we also have a USB stick running Slax Linux that we could use, how do we fix this problem?
I actually found a windows 98 recovery cd lying around and got it fixed using the fixmbr command, thanks though

What is the best Linux Live CD?

I want to start using Linux on my Laptop but don’t want to install it, So I want to use Live CD, Which one will let me surf the web and is the most compatible with todays computers and hardware?
My laptop is a P4 1.8ghz 256 MB WiFi 40GB Drive.

Is it useful to mount a bootable CD?

I was asking for help with something, and got a response of, “You can mount the ISO file with a program such as isohunt,” which doesn’t quite make sense because isohunt (basic Google, no extreme investigation) seems to be a p2p program, but anyway, the image is for a CD bootdisk, so is there any point in mounting the ISO on my Linux Live CD? The bootdisk is to make changes to Windows, but, if burned, it would show a fullscreen command line program with instructions. So if I mount this using Linux LiveCD on the same computer, will I be able to make the same changes to Windows that I would if I could burn it?
