Download the driver once. Copy it to each computer, putting it in
/home/someuser/Downloads. Then, presuming that you've put /home on its
own partition and don't format it when you re-install, the drivers are
ready to be installed. Of course, if you upgrade instead of doing a
clean install for every new version, this issue goes away. Or, if none
of the above appeals to you, keep doing whatever you've done in the
past, but don't expect any sympathy from me when you complain about how
much trouble it is. Your LAN, your computers, your choice.
