Ok, I found a fix, but I still think this is a bug because synaptic /upgrade-notifier should have done this automatically.
The reason I had no sound or wireless was that the modules were missing, so first I installed linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic (why didn't update-notifier upgrade that package too?). After intalling them, I rebooted into the buggy kernel and expected to have sound/audio, however still the modules were not loaded. I then proceeded to run depmod -a and reboot again, now the modules were automatically loadad and the sound and wireless is now working properly. So the two relevant questions are: 1. Why didn't the update-notifier offer to upgrade linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic if I had the older version linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22.11-generic. 2. Why when I installed the newer version of linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14 depmod -a wasn't run automatically from the package installer?
