Wireless Card Issues in Ubuntu

[LEDominator]

Hey all,

I was hoping you could help me with this problem. I have put a Zyxel ZyAir G302-V3 card into my system and am running Ubuntu Feisty. The problem is it is listed in lshw and lspci, but I can't get the driver to compile and install. Any help is appreciated

lshw result

Don't use sudo to compile things, it's completely unnecessary.
