Doh!
It's "Microsoft Virtual PC". Would you expect it to work? Try VMWare instead, it is the "de facto" virtualization software. Not only that, they are the pioneers of virtualization which started just a few years ago (i still remember it beeing on sourcefourge and receiveing awards of project of the month).

Ubuntu 5.1+ am1772 chipset wifi PCI card == no installed drivers.
AF searches logn and ahrd and finds a driver, and downloads a driver for ubuntu from net on his XP then reboots to ubuntu 5.1.
AF starts following instructions.
At stage 2 of the compile process it gives errors about missing files.
Af realizes he must go get linux headers and stuff in the package manager.
Package manager needs to connect to the internet
AF is back to square 1

AF has tried this
AF looks at his computer
AF looks at his stepdads comptuer downstairs
AF sees he needs an ethernet cable around the length of 20-30 metres
AF onyl has 5-10 metres of cabling
AF sees hsi 5-10 metres of cablign is infact made from 4-5 seperate cables
AF thinks about moving his computer
AF realizes such an action would probably end up with his computer in the bin with very angry parents
AF thinks about getting a long enough wire
AF thinks of angry parents complaining about wires hanging around the stairs.
