Hi all.
I installed the latest version of Kubuntu on a desktop PC made from parts bought individually. Everything works fine. It even recognizes that I have a wireless adapter.
Problem is, it doesn't properly know to drive the adapter. At http://funcation.blogspot.com/ I'm told exactly how to install the driver for exactly the adapter I have - for Debian.
But as far as I know Kubuntu is built on Debian, so there should be no problem to apply the instructions.
My only problem with this is that since the Linux installation doesn't properly recognize and thus cannot use the wireless adapter, I have no network access there. So I cannot download source packages using apt-get.
Is there any other way I could download the required source packages? For instance, using wget? And from where?
