I have a Netgear WNDA3100v2 usb wifi adapter, and I need to figure out how to install the drivers. I have the disc that came with the adapter. What do I need to install in order to use this on Ubuntu 14.0.4? And how do I install those programs without an internet connection?

What do you mean? I tried typing that into the terminal and nothing happened. I don't know if that's what you wanted me to do. – WombatRider Jun 14 '14 at 05:27

Have you tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383708 This might get your Netgear up and running. – Raphael Jun 14 '14 at 04:01

Plug in and from the command line run:
iwconfig
You may need to reboot before the hardware can be identified by Ubuntu.
It should show up as wlan0 if you have no other wifi adapter installed.
Netgear is typically supported in Ubuntu without the need for third party drivers.
To check your adapter performance, install wavemon:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wavemon
To run wavemon
wavemon
Their are other ways to monitor your signal strength but this one gives you and nice graphic display from the Terminal.
