Supposing I am using Ubuntu 12.04(LTS), and it uses the 3.5.0-37 kernel.

If i wanted to use the 3.9.6 kernel, how could i use it?
I dont want to upgrade to 13.04

Would I have to manually download this kernel, compile it and make its initrd, or could I fetch it using apt-get install by enabling some repository?

Please Help.

Backported kernels are available in 12.04, see these questions for instructions on how to enable them:

Another alternative is to build your own kernel or use a vanilla kernel: How do I get and install an unmodified kernel?
