I think it was mentioned elsewhere in this thread that the short answer
is yes. I think Kubuntu even includes it as part of the interface. (My
experience with Kubuntu was not a good as with Ubuntu. YMMV.)

I have two wireless cards that use a TI chipset (ACX-100/111). Although
there is an ACX driver which shows up each time I update the kernel, I
can't get it to work consistently. NDISWrapper works for this card. My
advice: Spend the extra money needed to get a wireless nic that works
with Ubuntu out of the box. Mine works, but I now have extra steps each
time I update that you probably don't want to have to take.

Maybe others here can help with choices of cards that DO work?
