Dear Steve,

You are completely right with the dependency argument :-)

However the issue still persists in 20210118
It is NOT possible to "load additional drivers" on a MacBook/iMac WITHOUT 
internet access in the live session (for a novice user)

But it is possible to force it to compile (root terminal):
dpkg -i /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_*_amd64.deb
apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

will successfully compile the driver and wifi starts working.

The issue might be with:
/rofs/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_focal-proposed_main_binary-amd64_Packages
which references an other version than the one present on /cdrom

kind regards
