Comment 26 for bug 407824

I have never applied a patch before, but I have worked with dpk. I have tried numerous times to get this working with no success.
I downloaded all the files from http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp418933-karmic/ and installed all the .deb packages. Sometimes in different orders. The installs seemed to work well, but when I reboot, I still have not network access (wired or wireless). I have a Toshiba with Intell Wifi 5100.

I have no clue how to apply a patch and the instructions I have found online suggest that I would apply the patch prior to creating a .deb package.

My question is, how can I get this version of the kernel installed so I can get the network hardware working. Is there a certain order for what packages to install first. Am I supposed to do something with the patch file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I enjoyed using Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop in the past, but I want to take advantage of the new features of 9.10.
