WiFi Adapter not found on Lenovo y50-70 / newly installed Ubuntu 18.04 / Kernel updated previously

I'm aware of most of the other posts on this, but I think my issue is a bit different.
To start this off, I had to update the Kernel because the BIOS was broken - as outlined here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147. A friend helped me - we selected recovery boot mode by long pressing the Shift Key after that, and I was able to boot USB after that.
I proceeded to install Ubuntu 18.04 because, additionally to corrupting the BIOS, Ubuntu 17.10 broke my graphics card driver [https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374885].
Now my problem is that on the current OS the Wifi Adapter isn't found, which is a known problem for my Lenovo y50-70 machine that I also experienced when installing 16.04, I believe.
If my memory serves me correctly, this [https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2280716] was how to fix it. But unfortunately now when I copy bcmwl...deb & dkms...deb to the desktop and enter:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
I get:
Selecting previously unselected package bcmwl-kernel-source.

Errors were encountered while processing:

dkms
I cleaned that up again using: sudo apt --fix-broken install and bcmwl & dkms were removed as far as I can tell.
So I copied the missing programs (linux-libc-dev, libc6-dev, gcc, dpkg-dev, make & build-essential) from my boot stick and was wondering if I should try to install them in the same manner (sudo dpkg -i *.deb) and then proceed the same way I did before and bcmwl & dkms would install without any error this time.
I don't know whether the introduction about how I had to update the Kernel previously is relevant at all, but I've come across posts reading to me like "which Kernel is set to be booted" is relevant to the issue.
