It looks like this is from a live CD. It is hard to get wireless cards working with a live CD. I have seen these cards work. If you are adventurous, install Mint, and we will help you get your wireless card working.

There are a lot of wireless problems due to the new kernel in Elyssa/Hardy. Most of the ones that worked out of the box in Daryna/Gutsy don't now, and need some workarounds, but it is possible. I have an Atheros ar5007 that worked with Daryna, but not with Elyssa. I have to use ndiswrapper to make it work. You might post at the Ubuntu forums, or search for your card there. You might be able to verify it works before installing.

My Atheros never works on the live cd, but once installed it works fine.

If that doesn't work you need to install your driver with Ndiswrapper.
