Hi,

unfortunately I cannot get my wifi working with 10.04 on my Thinkpad X30 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498434) so I will now try to build a new kernel.

Unfortunately my hardware is rather old, so compiling a new kernel on it will be very painful for me (it just takes forever), so I would like to make as little mistakes as possible.

I have read somewhere that Ubuntu does not use a "vanilla" kernel, but uses some Ubuntu-specific patches, so my question is now can I just get the kernel-sources from kernel.olg and use that or will I run into problems later when I do not use the Ubuntu-patches?


Many thanks!
