Default Install wireless network driver

I'm very new to Linux. I am using Ubuntu and have problem with
installing driver of wireless adaptor, Asus WL167g. I don't know how to
do so. Thank you very much for every help.

Also, don't use the ndiswrapper that comes with Ubuntu, as many users are
having issues with it at the moment. For example: I would used apt-get to
install ndiswrapper, I would install the driver (ndiswrapper -i
bcmwl5a.inf) and would be listed as working with "ndiswrapper -l". Next I
loaded the module "ndiswrapper -m", "depmod -a" and "modprobe ndiswrapper"
and found in dmesg that it failed to load. After uninstalling ndiswrapper
and installing the latest release from the official site, it worked
perfectly.
