What is the driver ?
Do lspci or lshw commands show something ?
In the last case, you can try to use the ndiswrapper [1] with the
W32 driver.

You can send a email directly, but needs a special format [2]. But
reportbug supports Gmail. You can see my reportbug config file
(only interesting lines are shown):
/etc/reportbug.conf:
email "n1ghtcr4wler@gmail.com"
realname "Ricardo Ichizo"
replyto "Ricardo Ichizo <n1ghtcr4wler@gmail.com>"
smtphost smtp.gmail.com:587
smtpuser n1ghtcr4wler
smtppasswd secret
smtptls
