Updated Drivers from 1.0.335 to 1.2.65

The issue was Ubuntu has updated how it validates it kernel modules for secure boot.
I needed to disable secure boot, now even the lastest version of the drivers works.

Disable secure boot in your vendor's bios, then disable it in ubuntu.
I stole this part from Nevin on these vary forums:

It seems that the command line used for disabling the secure boot mode was the following:
sudo mokutil --disable-validation
-asked for a password
- restart and during BIOS step ask to type any key for modification
- choose change secure boot state
- enter some characters of the password
