Bob,

I haven't ever tried Ubuntu, but from what I've read there shouldn't be any 
great difficulty using the Ubuntu driver in a Sarge installation. If you know 
the name of the driver package you can either directly browse a Ubuntu 
package mirror; download the package and install it with dpkg. Or, just add a 
Ubuntu mirror to your sources list and use apt-get or aptitude, etc. to 
install the package.

IIANM the Ubuntu package names and version numbers are constructed in such a 
way as to smoothly integrate with normal Debian naming & versioning, so you 
shouldn't have to worry about conflicts with the Debian packages, but it 
wouldn't hurt to double check.
