Newer official Ubuntu kernels come with Hardware Enablement Stacks (HES). Check the official Ubuntu HES page for release schedule. It is installed very easily, via Synaptic, by choosing a kernel that has something-lts-yaketty for example.. It's not just kernels that are part of HES, but also full graphics stacks... Just be patient until it comes out...
