Handling Linux without an internet connection?

The USB WLAN stick I'm trying to use on my linux box is not working properly (tried various distros... none work). Unfortunately some of the install instructions require Wine and cabextract. So I tried to figure out how to install those without an internet connection. Gdebi seems to be the way, but then how do you install that without an internet connection?
