Great !!. It works for me.
Thanks actionparsnip, you Rock !!.

Another question.
When i executed your suggested commands, in the output appear one error message.

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.8.0-35-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-35-generic
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.

Everything is working very well, but i want to know what the error message mean.

Thanks in advance !!
