No command 'spci' found, did you mean:
Command 'sci' from package 'scheme2c' (universe)
Command 'spc' from package 'supercat' (universe)
Command 'lspci' from package 'pciutils' (main)
spci: command not found
Awesome,
You should be able to use the following link to get you going. It will take you to the section that assumes you have a some Internet access (wired) but the no Internet access instructions are right below it.
Just do what that tutorial above says step-by-step.
For example, it says step 1 is to run the command "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter", which will install the "b43-fwcutter" package. Note that the command requires an internet connection to download the package.
