Is there a command to install all of the .deb packages at once or should I do it one at a time?

lspci -nnk
That gives:

Your right I should try and get this working sorry for overreacting, I just tried the 'Waldorf' version but it doesnt detect my wireless either.

First of all sorry about posting another broadcom question but at the moment I have no ethernet connection on a laptop ( live in rural area, internet comes from a wifi access point).
I have the BCM4313 and am wondering if there is an offline install package or anything like that out there, I could download the files manually the debian wiki tells me to but they come to about 50 files altogether including the dependencies and no OS is worth installing that many files manually every time i try I end up in dependency hell.
There must be a quicker way to do it?
It seems like the debian distros are the only ones left that don't work out the box with this chipset now, a free software ethic is all well and good, but it's arrogant to assume everyone has access to ethernet.
