Your problem is that Ubuntu is too easy for you. Note the above post about
Synaptic Package Manager. You "tried to do it like Windows" i.e. look for a
driver to install. Ubuntu is way past that.

The fact that you claim to be such an expert, but are using Google Groups
to post to Usenet damages your credibility in my eyes from the beginning.
