I don't think that’s an option. It's a declaration whether or not the 
internet connection is available. You might get somebody to download the 
driver for you to a thumb drive or CD.

You can also get with the Mint user forum. Click on the Mint Forum 
button at the left top corner the Firefox Browser once you get a 
connection or some other computer. Sometimes the Ubuntu forum answer 
questions Mint can't.
