Cant connect to internet wirelessly in Ubuntu?

[Hornzog]

Ok so before my computer completely died i had wireless internet set up perfectly using a "Wireless-N PCI adaptder, Model no. WMP300n" But after not getting windows to work again and deciding to try Ubuntu i cannot get connected to the internet at all.
When i insert the CD to install the adapter onto the computer the window comes up showing the contents of the CD, however nothing i do can get the CD to install, clicking on the setup.exe literally does nothing, and the autorun.inf comes up with an option to run, cancel or run in terminal, in which clicking on does absoloutely nothing either.
Is there anyway to install this onto my computer and subsequently get conected to the internet, ive only had ubuntu on the computer for a few days so am completely clueless, a walkthrough guide would be helpfull
Thanks in advance.

Go to Application>Accessories>terminal

mkdir madwifi ; cd madwifi && wget http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/madwifi/madwifi-0.9.4.tar.bz2

tar xvf madwifi*.tar.bz2 && cd madwifi-0.9.4/

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo apt-get install build-essential bin86 sharutils

make clean
make
sudo make install

sudo modprobe ath_pci

sudo -s
echo "ath_pci" >> /etc/modules
