Was there a happy ending to this email back in march? As I have the same situation with no easy access to wired internet.
My thoughts are to either borrow someone elses really really long cable or visit a friend and use their internet to upload. But I am hoping there is a way I can just download the driver via windows and just install in linux, is there a current website listing all the drivers?
