I've been at this for 3 hours and I can't figure out why it's not working! I successfully got the installer installed, but when I check for the firmware it says it's not there. My wireless device's PCI.ID is 14e4:4318 rev 02 and I cannot connect via ethernet cable. So I have to transfer the files to install.

There's conflicting instructions and I can't wrap my head around what's what now. I am a newbie and this is my first time with Ubuntu as well so that's likely what's wrong here! But anyway I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu fresh and try again.

Is there any good newibie instructions I can follow to get my wireless card working?

EDIT

Ran the command to check the drivers and it came back with this:
