Install a more recent kernel on a 12.04-based system

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Hi!

I believe that you'll find the required drivers within the package:
"linux-image-extra-virtual".

Also, take a look at the package "linux-firmware" too...

sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual linux-firmware

Cheers!
Thiago
