All you have to do is boot from your LiveCD, it might support your hardwares. If it doesn't, you can use Administration->Additional drivers utility to install supported hardwares.

HTH.

The driver you have work only with Windows. You will have to use drivers written for Linux. Boot on Ubuntu CD, choose "Try" instead of "Install" (Ian LiveCD) and check if hardware is automatically well managed. If not, we will have to search on Internet the drivers. For test, please use a wired connection to Internet, to avoid being blocked by a temporary WIFI driver issue.

Can you help with this problem?
