Drivers stop working after a kernel upgrade, need reinstall

More information on this matter:

I have 2 different devices, one at home and one at the office, both of them use DisplayLink. I did a kernel upgrade last night and of course, it made my device at home to not work so I had to uninstall the driver, reboot, reinstall the driver and reboot again to make it work.

Then I came to office Today and when I plugged to my USB dock it didn't work, so I had to once again: uninstall, reboot, install, reboot. Not only is annoying but this means that it even affects devices! So, you basically will have to uninstall and reinstall per each device you have.

Very weird and annoying, I hope this can get fixed in any way.
