so, i've updated the kernel and after the reboot found out that my wi fi dissapeared (from what i get OS doesn't see it at all), i've downloaded broadcom drivers from offsite but can't install them since all 'make' commands result in failures.
hope someone could come up with some solution for that issue.

Re: wi-fi dissapeared after kernel update
Did you install linux-headers?
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Re: wi-fi dissapeared after kernel update
yep, i've followed the procedure desctribed in how-to section.
first installed that "...all.deb" pacckage, then headers, then image and rebooted.
btw during loggin in i've got a black screee for a second and there are a few lines about "bad number" or "bad lines" there.
also, reinstalling a deb pacckage driver from repostitory didn't help

Re: wi-fi dissapeared after kernel update
What is the kernel version you are trying to install? A kernel upgrade is usually done by running:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
To remove the kernel you have installed:
Restart your computer. In Grub2 menu, you should see an entry for your previous kernel.
Boot to your previously working old kernel, and remove/uninstall the new kernel.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Re: wi-fi dissapeared after kernel update
To uninstall a kernel I remove three packages. Example for kernel 3.0.0-12-generic (change according to your version):
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.0.0-12 linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.0.0-12 linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic
