Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am a Linux beginner. I have
installed Linux Mint. The network connection is not working
(neither wired nor wireless). I downloaded a file for the
wireless driver "broadcom-wl-" and now I want to install hoping
that my wireless will work. How can I install that file without
using internet ? If there is any other way to make my Network
work (wireless and wired), please share. My Network shows
"Networking disabled"  share|improve this question You need to
extract the files from the archive you downloaded. Most Linux
based operating systems have a tar command that can be used in a
situation like this. –  Ramhound Jun 5 '13 at 9:54 What you are
doing should not be necessary, the broadcom drivers should be
included with Mint. Please open a terminal run ifconfig and
iwconfig and add the output to your question. –  terdon Jun 5

to configure network access in Mint and put the information
there. –  terdon Jun 5 '13 at 14:08  2 A
