How do I install a new driver?

Hi ... I am trying to get a laptop working with linux and I'm having trouble with the wireless network. <br />
<br />
It's a Sony VAIO VGN-NR10E/S with ubuntu (not sure which version but it's the latest download)<br />
<br />
Under Edit Wireless Networks I can't detect any networks. In Network Settings there are options for wired connection and point-to-point only, but no wireless options. In Hardware Drivers I get a message saying &quot;proprietary drivers are being used to make the computer work properly&quot;<br />
<br />
Any advice appreciated!<br />
