Can you please give me the output of "lspci"? And also it seems it seems there is still no database entry for your card but it seems you spotted a bug. Thank You!

I think ubuntu can't correctly detect my lan card.

here, i checked intels website, and they seem to have a linux driver for you, no need to use ndiswrapper at all!

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2259&OSFullName=&lang=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go!

Your in luck! it seems your card has native open source wireless drivers provided by Intel. I don't know why Ubuntu didn't picked that up for you. But this seems to be the solution http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ . Also you can try getting the drives directly from intel http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2259&OSFullName=&lang=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go! . But I recommend that you use the first solution, it will probably much easier and it's better because when new drivers are out ubuntu will update them for you. If you have any other problems don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!

One more thing. Some people are reporting that the wicd network manager is working better with them with this card than the default network manager. http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

Yes, I've fount it earlier, but it gives me such error when trying to compile using this command: "make SHELL=/bin/bash"

the output is:

Kernel Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/source'
make: *** [compatible/kversion] Error 1

If you know spanish:
     try this: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/88882

else:
     modify your command and and use "sudo make SHELL=/bin/bash install"

Someone was complaining that ""make SHELL=/bin/bash"" wasn;t working either.....the correction is what I pasted. Also, the [HOW TO] if for that same wireless card. If that doesnt help you, let me know.

My bad....it isnt answered

try running make without any of those parameters, and if the error persists, install the "linux-headers" package from synaptic.
