  desktop LTS 12.04/.2 broken cifs support on install

  While initrd.lz includes cifs.ko the modules des_generic.ko and md4.ko
  are missing.

  CIFS is very handy when PXE booting Ubuntu LTS Desktop live from Windows OSs as Serva does it here.

  The inclusion of des_generic.ko  and md4.ko within initrd.lz would
  avoid the need of loading manually made complementary initrd files.

  I hope you guys can add these 2 files for 12.04.3 considering this is an LTS.
  Thanks
