@ Joseph Salisbury:

I am able to test the latest upstream kernel, but I'm concerned about if
the following is applicable in my current scenario:

========================================
Preparing to install an upstream kernel

First, if one is using select proprietary or out-of-tree modules (ex. 
vitualbox, nvidia, fglrx, bcmwl, etc.) unless there is an extra package 
available for the version you are testing, you will need to uninstall the 
module first, in order to test the mainline kernel. If you do not uninstall 
these modules first, then the upstream kernel more than likely will not boot. 
========================================

I'm using manually installed proprietary drivers for my WiFi card
(attached screenshot), since this is the only way I can connect to the
Internet at this time.

Do you think is it possible not to uninstall this drivers first?
