12.04 - Will a kernel update overwrite my wireless driver from a newer kernel?

i run ubuntu Release 12.04 (precise) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.2.0-59-generic but I installed the wireless driver from backports-3.13-rc2-1. Now all works well.


My question is about the kernel update because if I install the proposed security update to Linux 3.2.0-60-generic it overwrite the wireless driver I patched.


Is there a way to install the new kernel maintaining the wireless driver from backports-3.13-rc2-1??


Best Regards
