FYI, this effectively rules out the MTU issues I suggested earlier,
so it was a useful test for that.
The multi-OS character would seem to rule out hardware, so at
this point the most likely candidate is network drivers.
A bit of googling following up on your lspci output
(showing an Atheros AR242x device) turned up this page:
<http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Atheros_Cards>
The upshot there seems to be that the Right Thing is to
select the "proprietary drivers" option at Ubuntu-install-time,
and things should work.
If you didn't do that, you can follow the instructions on the page
there to get recent madwifi drivers.
If you already *did* select the proprietary drivers at
Ubuntu-install time, and they're not working, then I suppose
you could try the more recent madwifi drivers anyways...
