Given that it's an atheros card, linux support would normally be done
via the madwifi driver. However, it seems that the chipset in your card
is atheros AR5008 (AR5416) which is not yet supported by madwifi. See
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1001 for details [and developers getting
buried under a mountain of user requests for adding driver support].

As an alternative, there are various reports of this card working via 
ndiswrapper though:

Rejecting the bug report since this card not working out of the box is,
unfortunately, not a bug in ubuntu.

** Changed in: Ubuntu
