If your keyboard is not working that can be tricky :-)

For daily built images you can go to [1] and then select the link for
"other images" for your architecture. There you will find a file named 
MANIFEST.udebs which lists kernel module udebs included in the current 
images and the package names for those include the kernel version.

We're currently working on an alpha release in which this issue will not be 
fixed. After that a switch to the new kernel should hopefully happen 
fairly soon. But it will take at least about a month.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
