Wireless in Ubuntu

This is really pissing me off, I didn't have this problem in previous versions of Ubuntu.
Now on Edgy, I can't get to setup my wireless connection. I use a 3Com 3CRUSB10075 USB key to connect to my router.
I always did the same thing to install the drivers, but now for some reason its not working.

Here's what I did:

$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/zd1211
$ cd /usr/src/zd1211
$ sudo wget http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/zd1211-driver-r83.tgz .
$ sudo tar zxf zd1211-driver-r83.tgz
$ cd zd1211-driver-r83
$ sudo gedit Makefile

Then I replaced in "Makefile" KERNEL_SOURCE=$(MODPATH)/source with KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(shell uname -r) and the two $(MODPATH)/net by $(MODPATH)/kernel/drivers/usb/net/zd1211.

Then I compiled and installed everything:

$ sudo make ZD1211REV_B=0
$ sudo make ZD1211REV_B=0 install
$ sudo make ZD1211REV_B=1
$ sudo make ZD1211REV_B=1 install

Yet nothing works, this used to work perfectly on Breezy and Dapper. Edgy is giving me a lot of trouble, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me setup my connection. (Stuck with XP at the moment :\)
