Hello,

I don't have a wired connection available, but I can boot into windows and use wireless there. The computer is Acer Aspire One.

I've installed ubuntu minimal CLI system, but I cannot download any packages in it because there's not wireless drivers or network managers or anything.

Also, network hardware detection failed during the install, and there are no ethernet drivers as well.

How can I install the wireless driver and wicd without having access to a network inside ubuntu? (I'll download whatever is necessary inside windows and move it over)
