[HLUG] install wifi driver without wifi to fetch it ?

[George DiceGeorge]

Im trying to install xubuntu 16.04.02 on a netbook,
but the wifi doesnt work
and it has no ethernet port
which seems to be necessary for

sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

(from http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers)

in windows i'd download a .exe driver to usb stick on another computer,
how to do this with ubuntu?
