Yes I did initially try the old driver in the newer kernels to see if 
that worked so that I could at least keep my kernel up to date but it 
refused to bind to the network card. It basically behaved as if it 
didn't recognise the PCI ID even when I blacklisted the new driver to 
ensure that didn't get loaded. I'll certainly give the solution 
suggested in the link you posted a try. If I can use the newer kernels 
that's at least a step forward :-)
