It doesn't matter what Linux calls your ethernet interface as long as
it works and you know which interface is which card. Most of the
wireless drivers I've used before stick with the default ethX, but
some chipsets go with wanX, and Atheros chipsets use athX. It's just a
name.

I'm assuming you're using the ndiswrapper and wpasupplicant packages
from Ubunu, and not compliling your own?

Keep in mind Drapper isn't released yet, so things might work. Though
they are in the release canidate phase. ;)

Output of lspci should tell us useful information about your sound
card. Output of dmesg should give some indication of your network
card.
