Today I am new to Ubuntu 18.04, and everything is working alright except for my Internet Connection using my Asus PCE-AC68 802.11ac Wifi Card. In the Ubuntu settings it displays "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found". I have tried many different guides and tutorials but nothing seems to work. heres my attempt at downloading my drivers.

First, I ran lspci -nn and recieved the following outcome, which is my Wifi Card

05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac 
Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

Second, I got the file bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb from my Ubuntu 18.04 install USB (usb/pool/restricted/p/bcmwl) and then put it on my desktop. I then moved the dkms folder from (usb/pool/main/d)

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I Recieved this output

(Reading database ... 125680 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing: bcmwl-kernel-source dkms

Lastly I ran sudo modprobe wl and recieved the following:

05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac 
Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

If anyone can see where I went wrong or have another solution, Please let me know

Here's a similar thread: Dependencies unsatisfied for offline Broadcom installation

As @dadexix86 mentions, it's preferable if you have a wired connection you can use (temporarily) to download these dependencies. If not, you'll have to download them one by one from some place like Launchpad (e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/g++) and then transfer them somehow to your machine. Afterwards you can run the following (roughly in correct order):

sudo dpkg -i linux-libc-dev_4.15.0-20.21_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libc-dev-bin_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libc6-dev_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libitm1_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libatomic1_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libasan4_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i liblsan0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libtsan0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libubsan0_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libcilkrts5_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libmpx2_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libquadmath0_8-20180414-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libgcc-7-dev_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i gcc-7_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i gcc_7.3.0-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i make_4.1-9.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i dpkg-dev_1.19.0.5ubuntu2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i libstdc++-7-dev_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i g++-7_7.3.0-16ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i g++_7.3.0-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i build-essential_12.4ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.3-3ubuntu9_all.deb sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
