I do have the linux kernel's restricted drivers in my update list. so that probably did the trik. now what I wonder is that just in case I format my disk, do I need to install the fw cutter or will these updates do the work for me provided I keep them on a cd which contains the /var/cache/apt/archive directory or apt on cd package?
I recollected, fwcutter is to convert M$ drivers into fw files. So you may not need it.
