Unfortunately in this case that might not work.

The file that is needed is wl.ko

That's what dmesg says? Can you copy entire line here?

I think the dmesg output is of the form

[time] wl: ...

I guess between that wl kernel module and the output of lspci you could
find the package through apt-file and apt-cache.

Usually it says something like this:

 9.826410] rtl8821ae 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for
rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_29.bin failed with error -2
[ 9.826420] rtl8821ae 0000:05:00.0: firmware: failed to load
rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin (-2)

$ apt-file search rtl8821aefw.bin
firmware-realtek: /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin

You just search for that file, download package, install that package on
offline machine. That's how I solve most of my WiFi problems.
