The plan is as follows: Ubuntu 12.04 now includes Hardware Enablement Kernels from Quantal (3.5) and soon from Raring (3.8): http://www.jorgecastro.org/2013/02/19/what-the-lts-enablement-stack-means-for-sysadmins/ This allows you to use a more recent, distro provided kernel than 3.2 which should have the required fixes/features you need. That said if you are having problems with the 3.2 kernel please do report bugs back to Ubuntu. Cheers James -- James Page Technical Lead Ubuntu Server Team james.page@canonical.com
