It depends on your system if it is 32 or 64 bits. Here are the two
kernel image packages. Select the one you need:

<http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-trusty/linux-image-3.13.0-33-generic_3.13.0-33.58~precise1_amd64.deb>
<http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-trusty/linux-image-3.13.0-33-generic_3.13.0-33.58~precise1_i386.deb>


After you have the kernel running, you should install the package
"linux-generic-lts-trusty" to automatically get updates.
