Can't find any good information on how to install kernel 3.7 in Ubuntu 12.10/Quantal.
I know of http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ but there are no complete kernels for 12.10 (rc2 exists but is missing kernel headers for -all).

After discussing with some Ubuntu kernel developers on IRC I learned that it's not important that those kernel are for Raring.
They can fit just as good with Quantal (or Precise), just that if you have any DKMS-modules it's not certain that they can be compiled.
So I installed 3.7.1 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ with sudo dpkg -i *.deb
linux-headers-3.7.1-030701_3.7.1-030701.201212171620_all.deb
linux-headers-3.7.1-030701-generic_3.7.1-030701.201212171620_i386.deb
linux-image-3.7.1-030701-generic_3.7.1-030701.201212171620_i386.deb
linux-image-extra-3.7.1-030701-generic_3.7.1-030701.201212171620_i386.deb
I noted in the console that nvidia module could not be compiled. Found that it works in newer versions so I upgraded by using xorg-edgers ppa.
With nvidia-current 313.09-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1 it could be compiled.
Then rebooted and 3.7.1 works perfectly!

I'm now on 3.8.
The driver for nvidia to use is now nvidia-313 instead of nvidia-current.
