wireless

Hello all, I'm trying to setup Ubuntu on an old PC.

I ran the following command, lspci, in order to get info on the wireless card installed.

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

Does anyone know where I can get drivers for this card/chip? And also, how to install (I'm rather new to linux).

Also, I'm sure the card is working because I just formatted over xp, and everything was working well.

Thanks in advanced!
