Mine was a fresh install because Gutsy's update manager was badly
corrupted. It seems to be a standard bug, but I found no clearcut
solution, also because I'm not very experienced in Linux.  I'm going
to install Ubuntu afresh again and try your solution.

- In /cdrom/pool/main/b you can find the deb for b43-fwcutter


In my Linux directory, or in the online Ubuntu repository? (since you
ask me to copy it to my disk)

- Copy it to your disk and then run it.


Should I copy it to any specific directory?

Great, I'll try this today and get back to you.
