Ubuntu 10.10 wifi problem?

What drivers have you installed for that Wireless Networking card? What help have you sought from the Ubuntu forums?

http://help.ubuntu.com/

Otherwise, forget Ubuntu 10, and use Linux Mint http://www.linuxmint.com/ as it is ALSO Ubuntu based, but it looks better and has more driver support built in. You can find out if your Wireless card is supported before you even install it. You download the Main ISO, you burn a disc from it, you boot to the disc, and you try it out. If support for your wireless card is included, you'll be able to get online from just the LiveCD.
