Update the Linux kernel without an Internet connection

How to update the Linux kernel without an Internet connection?

You NEED to get your hands on the new kernel or its sources. However you do it, it is up to you. Question, what version of Ubuntu you are using? And what is your wireless adaptor? Fedora provides great wireless network support.

NetworkManager is installed by default in both GNOME and KDE Live CDs."
