Update NVidia Driver on Ubuntu after kernel Ugrade

After upgrading kernel package, on Ubuntu 8.04 I always had to reinstall NVidia's Driver.
Fortunately nvidia provides you with an easy way to do it, and this way you make sure you always have the latest one, without having to hunt for the driver at Nvidia's site (which means a LOT! Nvidia's site browsability really sucks).
Just type the command

$ sudo nvidia-installer --update

and it will do all the work.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS on HP Pavilion tx1000z

A fresh install does almost all the work. The only thing that I had to look for a work around was wireless adapter driver. Following this steps, I got it working with WPA encryption.

For perfect external video outputs (SVCD and VGA), I installed NVidia's driver version 173.14.09, from this site:

The only things that I have not tried, because I don't need them in a regular basis, are: modem, fingerprint reader and touchscreen.
Everything else works like a charm, including bluetooth, I can synchronize my Nokia 6300 with evolution's calendar! I will post a mini howto on the sync later. This feature really changed my life. :)
