Since no one has answered your post I thought I would give it a try. I
am an old fart with no *expertise*. I simply like to muck around with
linux and Kubuntu and have had some success. I have not used Mythtv in
several years so I doubt I can help there.
As far as the wireless, could you post the relevant results of:
sudo lshw
**
*-usb
description: Generic USB device
physical id: 3
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3
version: 1.00
capabilities: usb-1.10
configuration: driver=at76_usb maxpower=500mA speed=
12.0MB/s
**
*-network
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 1
logical name: wlan0
serial: 00:0f:66:13:ae:d9
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=at76_usb
driverversion=0.14beta1firmware=
1.103.0-171 wireless=IEEE 802.11b
**
the section under network should indicate that it found a wireless
device and the product will be listed. What info is under the product
heading?
I would do a google search for ubuntu +"wireless chip found by lshw".
Chances are some else has gotten that working.
Could you also post the results of :
sudo ifconfig -a
(I have the wire plugged in for just now to do this)

In my case I had to install a ndiswrapper-common, ndisgtk and a windows
driver for my wireless chip.
I have no doubt you will be able to get ubuntu and mythtv working.

Hope this helps.
