I have successfully installed wireless on a PS3 with Debian, so I can 
speculate my setup would also work on ubuntu.

You need a recent set of packages including latest wpa_supplicant and a 
recent Linux kernel with PS3 support. Maybe Ubuntu already supplies 
fully functional PS3 kernels, you'll have to check for that first.

Then, wireless setup is the same as on a standard PC, except:
  - on my machine, the wireless interface is called "wlan0_rename_re", 
which may be Debian-specific.
  - for some reason, DHCP clients do not work on the wireless interface. 
You have to use fixed IP addresses.
