Hey bob,

It looks like you are referring to the "Kernel: Linux 3.8.2
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/" bit of that page. If
that's the case, you'll need to make sure that Linux Kernel 3.8.2 is
installed.  You can get your current running kernel version with
"uname -a" like this:

jshaw at jshaw:~$ uname -a
Linux jshaw 3.5.0-23-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 13:15:40 UTC
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This shows that I'm running kernel version 3.5.0-23-generic, compiled
for X86_64.

The link provided by intel is for the generic kernel source code,
straight from kernel.org, which means you'll need to either download
that, configure it and compile it yourself, or find out if that kernel
version is available for Kubuntu yet.

I can't verify whether or not this will work for you, but I found an
Ubuntu thread about installing 3.8.2:

If I misunderstood your question, sorry :)
