Hi. Userspace components should work fine with any kernel. You do need 2.14+ in case you want to build out-of-tree kernel module, but, I guess, that is not what you want. In case you have an issue with 2.13.0 and there is no issue with 2.14, I'd suggest to try 2.13.1. There were many bug fixes backported since 2.13.0. Please, give it a try and reply if it works for you. If not, you could try to bisect branch-2.14 to find which commit actually fixes the issue or give us more details to take a look and find a suitable fix.
