Those steps were not available on the T420 clone, because that computer had  
no electronic connection to the WiFi-less T420 in spite of its close physical  
proximity.


I had understood: you can "Save Link As..." a file on a flash drive.

wget -drc

 > /media/george/IPv4/Destination/


None of those three options is useful here.  The redirection is not either:  
the working directory is used.  You always make things so complicated...


If you really want to use Wget, just execute:
$ cd /media/george/IPv4/Destination/
$ wget

http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/l/linux-hwe/linux-modules-4.15.0-112-generic_4.15.0-112.113~16.04.1+8.0trisquel3_amd64.deb


and then double-clicked down through a series of subdirectories

So, you execute Wget instead of right clicking on two links on this Web page  
and choosing "Save Link As...", but you then take a graphical file manager to  
navigate down a deep branch of the file hierarchy (deep because you added  
options you do not understand to wget) instead of using cd and the  
auto-completion of the shell...


Alas, still no WiFi activation;

Does additionally installing

on the flash drive, double-click on each file on the ThinkPad T420.  GDebi  
will propose their installations.

Are you using Trisquel 8's default kernel?  If so, try to upgrade it.   
Installing the linux-image-generic-hwe-8.0 package and rebooting should do  
it: https://trisquel.info/issues/27129
