Can't get packages without wifi, but can't get wifi without package

I don't know what I'm doing and hope someone can help me. Wifi and Ethernet drivers both "DISABLED", don't have the packages to install or update almost anything, and it seems like everything I try to do needs installation.
I have no secondary computer to transfer packages on a flash drive, have no way to get them online without wifi, and no way to get wifi without wifi package.
All I want to do is get the wifi working and run Lubuntu GUI. THATS ALL.
I THINK IM GOING CRAZY
Wifi driver is Qualcomm atheros qca9565/ar9565
networking drivers apt package-management lubuntu

Where are you getting the information that wifi and ethernet is disabled? command? GUI? What version of Lubuntu?

From terminal when I input audio lshw -class network it gives me a list of info on both, each with the word DISABLED on top. I would settle for any version of lubuntu at this point if i could get one but it seems like I can't do anything, everything needs a package

The driver for your wireless, ath9k is already installed in recent versions of Ubuntu. DISABLED usually means that the wireless switch or key combination is set to turn off the wireless radio. Check from the terminal:rfkill list all

Ok it says I need to install Riki's, so when I do: "reading ackage lists ... done" "building dependency tree" "Reading state information ... done" "E: Unable to locate package rfkill"

Nope. If there were any file in there, it would have read out its contents. There isn't any such file, so we needn't modify it. It is sometimes helpful to know what isn't there.

We will edit one configuration file and get the wireless connected. First, confirm that your wireless interface is wlp1s0:
ifconfig
Once confirmed, next do:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Amend the file to read:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlp1s0
iface wlp1s0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid <your_router>
wpa-psk <your_wpa_key>
Proofread carefully, save (Ctrl+o) and exit (Ctrl+x) the text editor. Next, do:
sudo ifup -v wlp1s0
Did you connect? Test:
ping -c3 www.ubuntu.com
It may take a reboot.
EDIT: Your wireless is blocked by the airplane mode button. Please do:
sudo -i
echo "blacklist ideapad_laptop" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
modprobe -r ideapad_laptop
exit
Now the button will probably work. Next, try again:
sudo ifup wlp1s0
