Jesse,

Thanks for replying on this. The kernel did have a driver, version 3.2.6 but 
wouldn’t connect to WiFi or wired Ethernet. I commented out the section of code 
that was giving errors for the release number being too large and was able to 
install version 3.8.7 and this fixed my connection issues. I’m curious if this 
is going to be stable or if there is a better suited driver that should be 
used? 

Thanks again for the help.
