I've done as you asked, I downloaded the image and header .deb amd64 files for the v3.4-rc4-precise kernel, and the "all" header .deb file.
I installed them all with Ubuntu software center. Upon restarting my netbook. If I check system information it tells me that it is using the new 3.4 kernel. Aside from this I noticed something was different because my unity launcher/icons were back to their original large forms. So I went to system settings>appearance to scale them down again, but the option is no longer there...
This is a minor annoyance, the main annoyance is that the bug is simply not fixed. I still can't use any of my external HDDs, memory cards etc.
The bug also exists in the mainline kernel :(
Not to sound ungrateful (because I'm NOT!) but I really hope this gets fixed soon. I'm leaving next week for another year or so (travel and work) and I'd like a working Ubuntu on my netbook by then. I rather not go back to 11.04, as that was the first and last one that worked so far on this netbook :(
