I just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro Retina, but am having trouble getting the wifi working. I followed the steps posted at Ubuntu can't detect wifi networks on macbookpro 13.3 but when I run sudo modprobe wl I get the error modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found

I don't have an ethernet adapter for this machine, so I'm not really sure what other options I have for getting network access on this machine on ubuntu.

On some other computer connected to the internet, download these packages appropriate to your architecture; either 32- or 64-bit. Check:

arch

http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/bcmwl-kernel-source and also: http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/dkms

Transfer them on a USB key or similar and drag and drop them to the desktop of the Ubuntu computer; install them as outlined in the answer you linked.
