How can I install software offline?

I've been having this question since ubuntu 9.xx, hopefully you guys know what I can do. Is it possible to make it detect the wireless drivers on installation (11.10) ? I currently have a desktop with a wireless adapter and it's annoying having to unplug it, get it 2 floors below where the actual modem is, connect it directly and install everything. There should be a more efficient way to do this right? I don't know why ubuntu doesn't do this by default it'd be a nice feature specially for laptops I think.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: My wireless card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

Since you have a Broadcom wireless card, and the drivers for Broadcom are not included on the installation media, the answer is no. You have to install the OS first, reboot, then install the driver. Sorry.

If out of the box functionality is important, consider, if possible, switching to an Intel wireless card.
