Is there a location in which someone can download the latest linux headers on a different pc then move them to the linux machine?

Is it possible to download them on my windows desktop and transfer it via flash drive?
I was just wondering the same thing. I know you can do the b43 driver method off line, but the STA drivers I cannot seem to find some good information on if it is possible to get the headers from a different location.
It is possible to do it from the installation CD you used when you installed the system. It sure would be easier with internet access!
See this under STA -no internet access

OK I stopped being lazy and climbed up and connected via ethernet. Ran the 3 commands listed earlier and everything works fine now. Thanks everyone.
OK, I seemed to have found the real problem. I am only able to connect to the internet if I am right next to the router. When I went back to the room I usually sit in I again couldn't connect. When I'm in windows I get the same speeds in this room that I do next to the router.
The problem isn't that I can't connect to the wireless, it's that for some reason my wifi card's range sucks when I'm in ubuntu. Is there a possible fix for this? When I was next to the router and connected I installed the drivers in the additonal drivers menu.
EDIT: I installed the b43-fwcutter drivers and now everything is working perfectly. Thanks again everyone.

Please mark the thread as solved. The option is in the "thread tools" menu at the top of the thread.
