sure..

you'll need to install linux-headers for your kernel:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

then load up the "hardware drivers gui" again.

I actually managed to break my "hardware drivers" gui during trying to
fix it. I managed to install the driver directly via

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

and restored an old xorg.conf file that worked before the upgrade.
According to the file you can create the file automatically via

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

but here's mine:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "gb"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Option          "NoLogo"        "True"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        Defaultdepth    24
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
  screen "Default Screen"
EndSection
Section "Module"
        Load            "glx"
EndSection
