I don't think so, but how you do this? upgrade a kernel The kernel did work. Network/NIC driver config didn't. Ensure your NIC is supported by the running kernel. Choose standardized hardware, not stuff that needs (eg.) ndiswrapper, or post install reconfig. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
