Q. I was wondering what the most efficient way to upgrade the Linux kernel would be. I am currently using Linux Mint 9 which is a derivative of Ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu 10.04 is using Kernel 2.32-xx and only seems to patch that Kernel when it comes down to upgrades. I have currently installed Kernel 2.34 via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , and installed in the order:
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_XXX.deb [i386/amd64]
linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_XXX.deb [i386/amd64]
It seems to have worked, though Ksplice uptrack doesn't like it, which is a total bummer. The New Kernel has some awesome upgrades to it (http://www.h-online.com/open/features/What-s-new-in-Linux-2-6-34-1000122.html ), in fact with every new patched kernel that I upgraded to I had to modprobe and echo my Linksys WUSB600N to get it to work again with the Linux Drivers, or if that didn't work I had to reinstall the driver so that it was installed under the new header.
This time when upgrading to the new kernel, I didn't even need to configure or install the driver again.
At any rate I was wondering what are the advantages to installing the Kernel form source as to the way that I went?
Thanks to any and all who answer.

A. A straightforward way to have Linux Mint 9 running off kernel 2.6.35 is by using the following method (based on my own configuration)
Open a Terminal and replace the Lucid repositories with Maverick repositories (Ubuntu 10.10 which is currently in development)
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
The default repositories list should look something like this
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Edit the list to look like this
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Save and Close
sudo apt-get update
Close the Terminal
Open up the Package Manager (Synaptic) and install/upgrade to the following packages
linux-firmware
linux-generic
linux-headers-2.6.35-6
linux-headers-2.6.35-6-generic
linux-headers-generic
linux-image-2.6.35-6-generic
linux-image-generic
linux-libc-dev
Once installed/upgraded close the Package Manager and Reboot
After you have Rebooted you need to edit the sources list again to bring them back to Lucid
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Save and Close
sudo apt-get update
Close the Terminal
Thats it kernel 2.6.35 is now successfully installed
Another worthwhile tweak if you have an Nvidia GeForce graphics card is to upgrade the driver to 256.35 (GeForce 6 and above)

Wireless USB NIC disconnecting with drive state change?
Q. I have a Linksys WUSB600N USB wireless adapter.
Any time a drive changes state it disconnects the network. If I eject the cd-rom, unplug a USB device, right-click and eject the hardware from down by the clock, or even unmount a VIRTUAL drive, the network disconnects and then reconnects itself a few seconds later.
This question was asked on here before by another user, and the only answer that made sense had to do with reassigning internal addresses. Which I understand, however that doesn't explain what can be done to fix it.
I am running Win XP, hella powerful system, don't feel like listing it all.
Troubleshooting steps: reinstalled OEM drivers, downloaded newest drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled, countless reboots, swapped USB ports, etc, and happens on any computer.
Called Linksys tech support and all they could tell me was they would send me a new NIC. Which is fine since it happens on multiple computers which means it is most likely the NIC. ....but being a tech myself, that doesn't help much since it doesn't explain WHY it is happening....
Any suggestions?

A. Ew. It sounds like the USB adapter is overly sensitive to power fluctuations on the USB hub. I'd take it back and get a completely different brand or just buy a PCI wireless adapter instead.
help with wireless adapter?
Q. I purchased linksys wusb600n to try to work with an range plus n router. My old adapter kept getting huge lag spikes while gaming and just using the internet and I was told that it was because we got the range plus router and my old adapter wasn't compatible with it. I installed it and it connected with my old software 2wire but I kept getting kicked off the network so I unistalled 2wire and tried the software that came with it. It will now say i'm connected to the network but with limited or no capability I can't get on websites etc. I installed it on my laptop and it works just fine on the laptop and I can't get an answer from the linksys support at all no answer then get hung up on when I do get through. I am using windows XP on both my desktop and laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get it to work properly?
A. The message means that the adapter is waiting for an IP address to be assigned, but has not received it.
Possible causes:
1. Password for the network entered incorrectly - passwords are case sensitive
2. The connection is not set to obtain IP addresses automatically
3. The adapter is attempting to connect to the wrong router.
4. The driver is corrupted
Good Luck
