That's the -meta package's version - updating it will create a new dependency on the latest linux-image (linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic aka 3.2.0-25.40), thus pulling in the new kernel. So yes, this is the update you want to install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

The reason you need a SIM, is because the 4G technology Verizon is rolling out is LTE, which is a GSM variant that requires a SIM card. As long as the card gets a 4G signal it will use the SIM card and establish a GSM connection. If it looses the LTE signal, it will failover to 3G, which is CDMA.
