Using Linux (Ubuntu) on a windows network

I need to get a internet connection to my computer which has Linux(Ubuntu)installed on it. All of the other computers in the house are on a Windows network. I can’t find linux drivers for an old 802.b usb access point that I have. Could I use another router (connect a router to the linux computer) to get a wireless signal from the router that my Windows computers are on? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
