How did you install the system? Why not use the same system (a DVD set??) to install https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-realtek Or did you have internet connectivity, installed from there, and then lost it? Otherwise, cp the .deb, if it is a .deb, on your usb stick to the computer and dpkg -i it?? As has been said, you haven't really given enough information. Lisi
