If Ubuntu does not recognize hardware to connect to the net, and a net connection is necessary in order to install drivers for hardware that connects to the net, then how is such a system ever going to connect to the net?

build-essential and linux-headers-generic gives abort message

Surely, surely, there is a way out of this catch-22.
