Most drivers are developed and included in the kernel; if your hardware isn't supported by the kernel, it likely isn't supported by any other drivers. The only real exceptions are for some graphics cards, like those from NVIDIA and ATi, as well as some experimental drivers for wireless cards that aren't included in the kernel for various reasons. Some wireless cards can be made to work by wrapping a Windows driver for use in Linux when no other alternative exists.
NVIDIA and ATi drivers are installed by running an installer downloaded from the respective websites. In Ubuntu, they can also be installed by using the Restricted Drivers Manager. ndiswrapper can be downloaded from most distro's repositories, as well as compiling from source.
