You could add the jaunty repository temporarily and install the kernel image and headers (and possibly restricted modules) and then disable that repository again. But this might be unadvisable, for one you won't get the kernel updates (including security updates and who knows, maybe major bugfix updates) unless checking that manually everytime. And also I think there is an update of libc6 involved because of dependencies - at least on slackware I have caused major problems with a borked installation of libc - that almost caused me to reinstall the whole system.
Better solution might be to compile the new kernel from source and test that first, if it solves the problem.
