Introduction
For long it has been assumed that any baseband (kernel) ending with 015 were the same.
However, during the development of GinTonic.SE slade87 discovered problems concerning high battery consuption when using WiFi on a mismatch of kernel and libril files.
Also paul-xxx pointed out that you need different DualTouch modules with different versions of the kernel (for instance with MiniCM7Pro v21 you get TouchBug if you use 2.1.1.C.0.0 kernel instead of 2.1.1.A.0.6)
Therefore I thought I'd upload them together for easy reference.
Beware that you do not mistake kernel/baseband with rom/firmware. When you update your firmware using SEUS it updates both your kernel and firmware to a certain version, but when you flash a custom rom it only updates the firmware (system partition). If you are uncertain of the kernel you have, just flash one of the below or update/repair using SEUS.
Installation
Kernels in .ftf format, flash using Flashtool.
Copy the .ftf into the firmwares subdirectory of flashtool, turn of phone, press flash button, select kernel, connect phone while keeping back button pressed.
There is no need to unlock the bootloader as these are standard SE kernels.
Copy libril files into rom's /system/lib directory before flashing,
or flash the libril_2.1.1.x.x.x.zip using CWM Recovery,
or copy them manually using a file manager/explorer.
Dual Touch modules go in /system/lib/modules
Files
2.1.1.A.0.6
U20_2.1.1.A.0.6_Kernel.ftf (6.15 MB)
libril_2.1.1.A.0.6.zip (437.19 KB)
cy8ctma300_ser.ko (14.03 KB)
2.1.1.C.0.0
U20_2.1.1.C.0.0_Kernel.ftf (6.16 MB)
libril_2.1.1.C.0.0.zip (446.95 KB)
cy8ctma300_ser.ko (112.42 KB)
Just make sure you have matching kernel, libril files and DT module.
AFAIK all the custom kernels are based on 2.1.1.A.0.6
Credits go to slade87 and paul-xxx
Excellant work. This should help a fair few people.

Didn't know there's different ones for A.0.6 and C.0.0 or that the differences are kernel-related? I thought it was a hardware-related issue?
-Edit-
Come to think of it, might be onto something here... Thanks Paul!

There are quite a few improvements in C00 compared to A06,
Nitroboy77 said:
@ zilexa: to answer your question, here is a corrected version by me (yes, i do speak this wonderful language too )
Changelog:
-10-20% faster system
-bigger internal memory: 156mb
-improved system stability
-Google android the correction of a gap integrated (this was the refreshing his capital reason)..dont know what's meant with this point..maybe this security problem with older android versions?
-15% uptime improvement (so you should have upt to 15% more battery..)
-Improved Timescape
-Laggolások his correction = sth. like: less lags
-Repairing the camera in a program = camera seems to be better

I believe there's also improvements in WiFi and GSM reception.
But what is more important is that you have a matching set of kernel and modules because if you don't you get a lot more battery drain, or touchscreen bug in some roms.

C00 is indeed an upgrade from A06, and whenever I connect my phone to my PC with A06 it asks me to update to C00, but that is not really the point of this thread.
It's more important that you have matching kernel and rom libraries.

This is stock kernel and baseband collection.
Hope this will help you who need to flash baseband or revert back to stock kernel, so you dont have to download full ftf firmware.
Instructions:
1. Flash it from flashtool. if you don't have or don't know about flashtool here the thread
2. Put the ftf file you've downloaded to firmware folder under flashtool folder.
3. open flashtool, click flash/electricity image and choose the ftf then flash, put your phone to flash mode (follow instructions on flashtool).
Use it with your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your device
This is for locked and unlocked bootloader

Baseband 56 from fw .42 is good for me in term of battery life but baseband 64 from fw .62 good in term of signal quality and overall quality.
And my best combination is bb 56 and stock .283 kernel.
Fyi, baseband is related to your region, what is good for me doesnt mean its good for you too.
Just give it a try.

How can you check the version /firmware of your kernel ?

The hardware on the Neo and Neo V isn't completely the same, Neo and Neo V have a different camera, so I think the kernel could be different for Neo and Neo V as well.

Well I am using nightElf v9 + v0.85 Tweaked ROM + .64 baseband.
I live in europe and when I enable my data connection I have battery drains.
Ive read in other topics (around here) that going to .283 kernel solves the battery drain issue ?
thanks already !

You can't flash it if you not checked USB debugging mode, flashtool will refuse it.
