From memory, something like (as root)
# add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
# aptitude update
# aptitude install linux-image-lts-backport-maverick
then reboot to enjoy the new kernel
and to revert back to the standard kernel, something like:
# ppa-purge kernel-ppa/ppa
you might need to hunt down and install ppa-purge first.
