[TriLUG] Wireless Broken WAS Re: Getting sound to work in WINE

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

ok, this is the first time I've ever done anything with the kernel.  I
found these instructions:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-upgrade-kernel2622-9-generic-in-feisty-fawn.html

When I try the line

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-headers-2.6.22-9 linux-headers-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-9-generic

I get the error E: Couldn't find package
linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-9-generic

My current kernel is  2.6.22-14-rt.  What are the benefits and
drawbacks of having the rt kernel?

also, I didn't understnad the part about
linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r).  am I supposed to apt-get that or
what?

Thanks!
