    I upgraded to version 3.5 and ran out of Wifi; I gave it to look for proprietary drivers and although it finds them it does not install them. I removed that version and put 3.4 and it doesn't recognize Wifi either; so I had to leave the 3.2.029 I had.

    I am using LinuxMint13 KDE 64 bits and I have kernel 3.2.0.29, is it necessary to update it to 3.5?

    Well I'm new to this in the linux world, what kernel uses ubunto 12.04, how can I know the version that is being used and how can I update to version 3. 4 😉

    As a stable version it is 3.5 and now 3.6 is in testing but if your machine works well, I do not recommend updating it.
