Bug Description

The kernel included with the AC100 12.10 Ubuntu release (3.1.0-4-ac100) includes less kernel modules than the 12.04 version did.

I've dumped the kernel configurations for both for comparison. In particular, I notice that many USB devices no longer have kernel modules built, including:

* gspca-supported webcams
* ax8817x usb ethernet adapters (used in Apple's USB ethernet adapter)
* usb audio devices (snd-usb-audio)
* usb hids

Many of the netfilter modules are also no longer available.

I've checked this again against the 3.1.0-6-ac100 kernel, it appears to still have those modules missing, however a large number of USB HID devices have been restored.
