Does the Ethernet part of the combo card work (can you connect if you plug your ThinkPad [running Ubuntu] into the network?) If it does, you can make a shared folder on your Ubuntu machine by right clicking a folder and sharing it. You can also access shared folders using Places -> Network.

What kind of card is the WG511v2? Can you only connect over WiFi (if the ThinkPad has internal Ethernet, you shouldn't need a wired PC card)? I have a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S WiFi PC card that works fine in mine, also have a D-Link PC Card Ethernet (since mine doesn't have the combo card) which also works fine. What happens when you connect the PC card to your ThinkPad while it's running Ubuntu? Try restarting the machine, leaving the card in while it starts up, see if any drivers show up in the restricted thing.
