All of it requires that you install (by downloading) a ubuntu package, and then configure it. But it is kind of hard to download a package if you have no web access on account of your wireless not working in ubuntu. So you have to do everything through w$. Find the package and dependencies, download them to a common disk, and then install from disk (of course you PRINTED the instructions because they are not handy in Ubuntu 'cause you don't have web access). Phew!. G'night.
