help setting up wireless connection!

[AndyH]

I just installed kubuntu as a dual boot with xp. I have a dlink wda-1320 and I can't seem to get it connected. I am new to linux so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have done a lot of searching but can't seem to find anything. From what I've read my card has the Atheros chipset. Any ideas and what I should do?
Thanks!

wow! I edited the etc/network/interface file to

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp

mine looked nothing like that. I rebooted and it is working great now! I am posting this from linux! the only thing I notice is that my signal strength is kinda low and I have a high gain antenna. Anyway, thanks for the help!
