The kernel included with the AC100 12.10 Ubuntu release includes less kernel modules than the 12.04 version did.

I've dumped the kernel configurations for both for comparison. In particular, I notice that many USB devices no longer have kernel modules built, including:

* gspca-supported webcams
* ax8817x usb ethernet adapters (used in Apple's USB ethernet adapter)
* usb audio devices (snd-usb-audio)

Many of the netfilter modules are also no longer available.

I'm not saying "go back to the old config" because there are a number of things that are no longer built that makes sense, eg: support for many x86 PC PS/2 trackpads.
