I've successfully reinstalled the 3.13.0-27-generic kernel but now I don't have wireless connectivity. I know I did the last time I booted up with that kernel. HELP!?

  • Followed the directions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71139/how-to-downgrade-the-kernel-on-11-10 I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and clicked on the link for "trusty" which took me to http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ From there I clicked on "kernels" which took me to http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kernel/ From there I clicked on the link for linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic which took me to http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kernel/linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic – Jaime Jun 28 '14 at 13:34
  • From there I clicked on the amd64 link which too me to http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/linux-image-3.13.0-27-generic/download where I was FINALLY able to download the deb package. I repeated the same process to fetch the headers from http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/linux-headers-3.13.0-27 Once I had both deb packages, I installed using "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" The install was successful, I rebooted into the new kernel and discovered I had no wireless connectivity. When I did this entire process with the 3.13.0-29 kernel I still had wireless so I'm not sure what is different. – Jaime Jun 28 '14 at 13:38

You are missing several drivers including wireless drivers because you need to also install:

linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic

from here .

  • EUREKA! That fixed it. I also found the directions to "pin" that kernel so that it won't get updated again too. Thanks for your help. – Jaime Jun 28 '14 at 20:24
