Am i wide user of Linux versions, and if you are using Ubuntu to configure a network, i suggest to kick ubuntu out of your computer. Fedora or Mandrake will make your work easier. Specially if your network interfaces have a Realtek chipset, Ubuntu will have a hard time configuring them, and most of time will never work. Re-installing your OS won’t make any change!

If you’re on the live CD, your real installation on your HD is probably not mounted. See if you can get to your own home dir, I forget exactly how, but you should be able to browse your computer from the desktop somehow. Mount your existing filesystem, then download the packages to it. You’ll need to sort out which packages are required, and manually grab them all, I think you could go to the Ubuntu site and grab them with Firefox.
Reboot into the real install, then install the package(s) that you saved to your home dir.
Ubuntu rocks, I love it on my home machine (on the road now with Windows) , stick with it. Its like Fedora, except it really does ‘just work’.
