didn’t know who to tell about the dead link, so I am doing it here.

actually, more generic. my BBB is running Linux 7.8 (wheezy). I am trying to update to a more recent kernel.
the kernel update instructions on elinux lead to kernel 3.8.13-bone70. I want to get to a newer kernel. (I think 3.14 is now available.) so, advice here [or a pointer to the latest instructions] would be great, too.
Well it depends, what does "cat /etc/dogtag" say?
if it's newer then say Sep/October 2014:
then just:
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.34-ti-r52
; sudo reboot
But if it was so old you had to add my keyring, just grap a newer snapshot:

Regards,
thx, robert. my /etc/dogtag said it wasn’t that old: 2014-11-19. the keyring update made my apt-get update error go away. great.
suggestion: add the kernel update instructions in the same doc, too. kernel update with apt-get went very smooth. I wonder whether there is a way to apt-get to “most recent kernel”, rather than having to know the linux-image-… details . then again, maybe this is now fixed, too.
not sure if this matters, but
sudo dpkg -i rcn-ee-archive-keyring_2015.01.28~bpo70%2b20150213%2b1_all.deb
still complains.
thanks again, robert.

Which 'latest'
3.8
3.8-xenomai
3.14
3.14-rt
3.14-xenomai
3.18.x
3.19.x
4.0-rcx
Does the user have custom *.dtb? created by dtb-rebuilder..
I don't feel comfortable having a "sudo apt-get install linux-image-latest" . 
not sure if this matters, but
sudo dpkg -i rcn-ee-archive-keyring_2015.01.28~bpo70%2b20150213%2b1_all.deb

Regards,
makes sense (not to have a simple "latest" when there are many
different kernels).
on the webpage, are these instructions still recommended?
cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh
sudo reboot
I would at least note that there is an apt-get alternative for the
following x kernsl.

PS: (right now, I am wondering why the module usb-core is not
loading, which presumably is why I am not getting lsusb
identification.)

Well It's "recommended" for the original "may 2014" release.
So till CircuitCo and Latest Software Images - BeagleBoard update to a
recent image, then it'll probably disappear, as the complexity goes
up.
But there's no reason someone else can't write up a script to parse
all the options.

Your powering by 5 Volt Dc jack right???
