Of course not. You installed a proprietary driver, that is *not* part of
the new kernel. Why would you think it should magically be part of the
new kernel? Look at /boot, and you'll see more than one kernel file. The
configuration files for *one* kernel make it aware of your driver; the
new one has no clue, *and* some of the shared libraries may/will not
match, so of course you have to reinstall.

Where'd you get the original? Does installation of it build the driver,
the way, for example, I have to rebuild a years-old driver for my Nvidia
card at work, every time I update the kernel?
