I thought I was going to have a similar problem with my Parents PC when I 
moved it from Mandrake 9.2 to Ubuntu 5.10. I had bought the drivers from 
Linuxant for their Conexant based Winmodem (glorified soundcard). I can 
happily say that they allow you to download the latest version of the driver, 
it seems that the activation code is tied to the card (or possibly the 
processor) rather than a revision of the software.
