I am trying to install this deb package http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/utils/b43-fwcutter but whenever I doubleclick it the install button is disabled.

I don't have internet connection.

Open a terminal and go to the directory where the .deb file in loacated.

Then execute

sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_015-9_i386.deb

This should work.

Note: Most of the time, this should not work if you don't have all dependent packages installed. But I inspected this package, and see that, it is only dependent on libc6 package, which is automatically installed by Ubuntu. Hence it should work.
