(Sorry I haven't checked this email in a while) I agree, it is difficult if you don't have another means of connecting. I personally had to use my phone's ultra-slow hotspot (not very hot lol) over bluetooth in order to get anything from any repository. Just running "sudo apt update" took nearly an hour haha. But eventually I was able to download the driver and got it working. I realize not everyone has hotspot service on their phone. Fortunately, my current carrier does support it (at a very slow speed) for no additional charge. I hope you are able to find a way to get the download and get your wifi working!
