How did you install the system?  Why not use the same system (a DVD set??) to 
install

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-realtek

Or did you have internet connectivity, installed from there, and then lost it?

Otherwise, cp the .deb, if it is a .deb, on your usb stick to the computer and 
dpkg -i it??  As has been said, you haven't really given enough information.
