Then dpkg -i nameofthepackage.deb (some other packages like the
kernel headers have to be present on the system, see the wiki)

That is one answer ! It was easier for me to download the file with
another system with working network, and install it on the box.
Just guessing - I'm curiour whether this was the case.
If I'm not mistaken, you will not receive possible future upgrades
for a package this way.
He will, if the package was downloaded from debian archive and if he
downloaded jessie or older version.
The wiki page describes versions for jessie...
The https://packages.debian.org/broadcom-sta-dkm page shows versions for
stretch too.
