I downloaded Fedora18 earlier and the uname shows the following --

You have 3.6.10-4 from 11-Dec-2012 (old), the original kernel, I believe.
One of my customers downloaded Fedora18 recently and his uname -a showed the following --
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 2 20:28:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
They have 3.11.10-100 from 2-Dec-2013 (newer), so they've updated, in the meantime.
You want them to downgrade to an older kernel? That's *usually* a bad idea, unless you're trying to diagnose a fault with their current kernel by trying an older one.
Depending on how many updates they've done, they may still have the older kernel installed. All they'd have to do is boot using the older one. Read the boot menu as you boot up, and choose a different kernel.
