Best to have a go myself first.

Don't attempt doing this from any video found on youtube.

These are customized kernels made by Jerry specifically for LL, so you can't just pick a generic one (from Ubuntu for instance).

I've looked for a way to download the kernel, but can't see a way to do it.  I had thought that you could the download the packages to a usb stick similarly to the way you can download Ubuntu packages here:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/.  But that doesn't appear to be the case.

I'll PM Jerry and see if he has a way to do this.  He or I will post back with answer whether or not this is going to be possible.

In the meantime, if you know anyone who has a usb wifi dongle that you could borrow that would be the easiest thing to do.  Connect new LL install to Internet with that, install initial updates, then install new kernel with this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.3.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.3.0 -y

Reboot computer after doing the kernel update and hopefully your NIC will work.
