I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my HP Pavilion DV6000...The WiFi does not work and the only way I can connect is through Ethernet... I go under the Software and Updates and then the Additional Drivers and I have no drivers that can be found... Another thing is that I want to install the drivers through my USB stick but I don't know how... Is there anything I can do to avoid the Ethernet connection and install these updates without the internet? And specifically what driver would I need to connect to my WiFi so I can get the other Updates? I'm mostly new to Ubuntu and I am confused on what I should do... I need what I need to do simplified... Please and Thank You...

Actually you know if you wi-fi target is supported? If you have dual-boot with windows try to enable the wi-fi connection and go back to ubuntu, sometimes it works. You can also push super(windows) and look "drivers" you iniciate -Additional drivers and via ethernet get what you need.
