Ubuntu Wireless Compaq Mini
First lets see what is your wifi card info, type the following in a terminal:
lspci | grep Wireless
My info is:
02:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Next you have to install the dkms package:
sudo aptitude install dkms
Now download the file rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.7-0ubuntu0~ppa2_all.deb from this page (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, you can choose whatever best fits your version)
After download is complete, you can install it with:
sudo dpkg -i rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.7-0ubuntu0~ppa2_all.deb
Wait a couple of minutes, reboot and you're done.
Happy wardriving! :p

Have you ever wonder about use sudo ubuntu-style in other GNU/Linux distributions?, here is how:
Fisrt, you'll need root access (after this, just sudo 
Open the file: /etc/sudoers
Find the line:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
and underneath add a new line:
[your username] ALL=(ALL) ALL
that's it, now you can sudo any command, just like Ubuntu.
