    Just go to Option 2 and it will have instructions on where to get the files and install it in Ubuntu.

    Hope that helps.

    This seems like the way to go. But this solution won't work because I have no LAN internet, just wireless. How would I go about doing this without internet.

    Option 2 tells you where you have to download the files. You will have to do this from another computer or one that has an internet connection.

    If you need to have it without the internet connection, you will have to wait until 8.10 is released. It comes with the wl driver installed so all you have to do is enable it in System->Administration->Hardware Drivers.
