Hi, Glad you've got it fixed!
You could also have upgraded to a very recent version of the kernel (as I did), the instructions to upgrade the kernel on Ubuntu will be on the Internet somewhere. It's just another sudo apt-get install command. Sorry I can't help more, am away from home & replying via iPhone! I think your way is better though as I don't think the most recent kernel (3.11.14 by memory?) version is supported on Ubuntu 12.04. I haven't noticed any problems so far, but if I do, i'll uninstall that kernel versions and do things your way.
