Trouble compiling in 3.12 kernel Ubuntu Studio (13.10)

Hello Guys,

I have Ubuntu studio (13.10) installed on my laptop. I am experiencing a wifi disconnection issue, i'd like to believe others are facing too. Before installing Ubuntu studio i had Ubuntu in it's purest form ;) and had the same issue.

To resolve it i compiled in the 3.12 kernel and it seemed to have solved the problem.

Now with the Ubuntu studio compiling in that kernel is not even working. I finished the process and checked the kernel version and it was still 3.11.0-11-lowlatency

###@Sleekbook-14:$uname -r
3.11.0-11-lowlatency
###@Sleekbook-14:$

i don't understand what i'm doing wring really?

i ran the commands as below

after extracting to /usr/local

sudo make menuconfig
sudo make
sudo make modules_install install

then reboot
then check version and nothing changed.

Anyone have an idea what i might be missing?
