You are SOL unless they release a set of object modules built against a very
similar kernel configuration as you use with the same compiler and other
options.

Linux is not designed to provide binary compatibility for drivers. Trying to
use hardware that requires it is not worth the pain. Buy from an open vendor
in future.
