That's very odd that package wasn't on your system already. It's
automatically installed with the linux-image-generic package, and that
should have been installed when you loaded the system. Without that
package your system won't receive kernel updates automatically.
Did you by chance remove any packages right after the initial install.
My guess is that you might have removed a package that in turn caused a
dependency package such as linux-image-generic to be removed.
That might have cause linux-image-extras-3.11.0-15-generic to be marked
as "no longer needed" and it may have also been uninstalled.

"Sometimes, a specific variant of the/linux-image/is slimmed down by
removing the less common kernel modules (drivers). In this case,
the/linux-image-extra/package simply contains all of the "extra" kernel
modules which were left out."
Ugh... Thanks for the "space conservation".
So voila, I have networking and a desktop, but now I have an issue I saw
in the desktop installer the pegs a kworker thread @ 110% cpu on one
core constantly, and will freeze if my monitor acpi suspends. Geezus,
now what!
Black cloud man, they follow me around. I really don't think it's too
much to ask for raid or full-disk crypto in a desktop installation.
Debian doesn't do EFI from what I could find, and most of the variants
are more immature than even ubuntu's desktop installer to provide
advanced raid/crypto/lvm capability on install.

Having insstalled 13.10 on maybe 25 systems, maybe 1/2 dual booting

your problems. The only problems I have seen were truly minor.

So per a prior comment about odd efi-booting asus laptop, I'm
still dealing with getting an os on it.
I installed Ubuntu server 13.10 on it as the desktop installer was
unstable, and installed fine enough. Now, my kernels are straight
missing most of my drivers for things like my network cards and
who knows what else. If I install header packages, they are
there, but otherwise mia.
I've never seen such a broken kernel install before, did the
initrd system change on here? Is there some additional package
set it needs now installed to see an atheros atl1c driver gig nic?
Even the intel driver for the wlan nic is missing, so it's not
just an "atheros" thing. It works fine with the server generic
kernel's initrd - really flippin befuddling.
Backstory:
Because ubuntu's desktop installer is so broken and incomplete for
13.10, I had to resort to using server to get my normal disk setup
working using raid, crypto, and lvm. After wasting a week with
the desktop installer(s), at least I could get this to install
clean, aside from it not creating a crypttab properly on install
that consumed my morning.
This was after spending almost a week trying to make any form of
ubuntu work on it, getting so pissed and spending another few just
to learn Arch, realized that all in all I'd rather have a
deb-based system, so went back again to try server to at least
install. I'm really wondering why...
Thanks in advance!
