What kind of wireless card do you have?
Can you set it up with the command line?

I just installed the kubuntu hardy daily from 20.feb.2008 (running it now). my broadcom bcm4306 isn't working. it's detected wlan0 (was eth1 in gutsy), but it's not working.

I'm guessing that jockey-kde needs to be installed, but it wasn't by default. installing now.

Have a look at http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 , maybe that can help you. There I found the following, too: "4306 and 4309 cards with a MAC core revision of 4 or less should also use b43legacy". So keep this in mind when trying to setup the driver. If your card is supported by the b43-driver, you'll need firmware 4.80.53.0, if your card needs b43legacy, you'll need firmware 3.130.20.0 (as bcm43xx did).
