Yep i agree with trilobyte. I have had this problem and thats how i overcome it.
Other than that you would need to download the rpm from another pc and store it on usb or similar i would think.

Ok next question where would I get said driver. because I have enough usb drives to go to the moon and no easily accessible Ethernet port however several internet enabled computers.

I hope this helps :
Code:
It turns out I had to download the 1000bgn microcode from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads, extract it and copy it to /lib/firmware/.

He seems to have the same wifi card as you :

Uh I am using ubuntu 9.04 however I found that site above shortly before he posted it and found that 9.10 had the drivers already in it so I did a disc upgrade quickly. Now I just need to get the webcam, mic, lights, and other stuff to work. oh well at least I got Internet now

It should be easy getting the Mic and Webcam etc to work. With Fedora 12, which I recently installed, all my mic and webcam drivers were already installed. Which I was surprised by; considering my webcam is a Microfail one.

Well mine isn't even being recognized by ls so I figured that it can't communicate for whatever reason.

but it does show up when i try to view using cheese, and now mic works after update Smile
