I have a custom-built computer and the Ethernet port and my wireless USB card (Belkin DB600) both don't work. The Ethernet port didn't work for Windows either, I had to install the drivers using an image of the driver disk on my laptop. My mother board is an ASUS P8Z77-V

Edit #2: I have been manually downloading every single package required for build-essential. Now I am downloading the linux headers, and HOPEFULLY I'll be able to compile the driver and everything will go smoothly. I will report back soon.

Your LAN card should be intel 82579V. Please see askubuntu.com/q/151324/65926 – Eric Carvalho Dec 6 '12 at 21:52
What does lspci -nn report about your wireless and ethernet? – chili555 Dec 6 '12 at 22:27
@chili555 I edited my original post to show the output of lspci. – Brett Dec 7 '12 at 0:07
@EricCarvalho For some reason, gcc/g++ are not pre-installed. To install them I would have to manually download 90 packages and them grab from from my Windows partition through Ubuntu. Is there an easier way to do that? – Brett Dec 7 '12 at 0:08
I managed to do it! I manually installed EVERY single package and compiled a driver myself. The driver works perfectly. Thank you everyone for pointing me in the correct direction. – Brett Dec 7 '12 at 5:44
