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.

I hope some one with more knowledge will jump in with more help. I am at
a loss to understand the output of the things you posted.
When I run lshw it says I have a wireless card with a chip made by
Broadcom and is bcm 4306. Googling on bcm4306 I found a howto that says
I need a windows driver BCMWL5.inf, and that I also need to install a
ndiswrapper and blacklist the driver that was automatically install by
ubuntu (bcm43xx).
Your output from iwconfig shows that it sees you network and can
connect to an access point. After I had that situation I could access
the internet.
From your lshw it appears you are using at76_usb driver, a usb wireless
modem?. I did run across this forum hopefully it may help sort thing out
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834&page=41
Did you try to start or restart the network?
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
What happens if you try to access the internet?
sudo aptitude update
Sorry my knowledge is pretty limited.
