I dont believe that the DLink series cards are supported by default on Ubuntu 8.x series, in order to get this working you may want to give ndiswrapper a shot check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper this guide is pretty exhaustive and has helped me quite a bit dealing with wifi and ubuntu. Hope this helps :)
