You have 3.6.10-4 from 11-Dec-2012 (old), the original kernel, I
believe.

They have 3.11.10-100 from 2-Dec-2013 (newer), so they've updated, in
the meantime.

You want them to downgrade to an older kernel?  That's *usually* a bad
idea, unless you're trying to diagnose a fault with their current kernel
by trying an older one.

Depending on how many updates they've done, they may still have the
older kernel installed.  All they'd have to do is boot using the older
one.  Read the boot menu as you boot up, and choose a different kernel.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
