No idea what are you asking about. What do you mean by "I do
something"? What are you trying to achieve?
b43 driver won't work this this card. b43-fwcutter is firmware
extractor for b43 driver. It's not needed for this card.

I don't think STA supports fullmac devices (like your USB one). You
can list loaded modules by "lsmod"
hint:
lsmod | grep wl
lsmod | grep b43
etc.
lspci also shows currently used driver when using verbose mode (lspci -v):
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
Subsystem: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 48
Memory at d1500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
(...)
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
P.S.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
Please, bottom-post.
