Moved from this really old thread.
I hate to resurrect such an old thread here, but I'm eager to get Ubuntu 8.04 running on Parallels 3.0 on my MBP, but I'm having a little bit of difficulty. It seems like I've got it installed fine, but I cannot get the wireless card discovered on it and only the ethernet card is showing up. Anyone get theirs working with the wireless yet?

As far as I know whatever connection you Mac has will just appear as an ethernet connection to the virtual machine. So if you Mac is connected via wireless then the virtual machine will just have its network data sent through that interface.

Parallels emulates a wired network connection for the guest OS; the path from there to the internet is whatever you're using in OS X (wireless, wired, bluetooth, cellular data, etc).

I got it to work finally! After reading the couple of replies to my message, I realized that the network connection in the panel wasn't on at all. The "wired connection" wasn't selected, so I selected it and it discovered my wireless network in just a few seconds. I'm now downloading 100+ updates to my Hardy Heron. Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions guys, much appreciated!

How is Hardy Heron? I hope to try it sometime soon, I haven't ran Ubuntu in a while.

Hardy Heron is a great version of Ubuntu. Runs fast, very stable, and it's such a painless installation. I've been able to successfully install it on five different desktops and laptops with no issues at all.

Does Hardy Heron have the epic stupid Debian ssh bug, or did they somehow avoid that?

Not sure about that one.

Debian destroyed their key generation entropy pool by commenting out the functions that improve entropy because some automated code analysis tool they were using couldn't deal with those functions. Had the submitted their changes upstream (this was in Debian for ~2 years) they would have been laughed at heartily, but of course they never did that. Ubuntu is based on Debian.
