An excellent question, young Jedi! As with any driver or module that's compiled from source code, it was compiled against your running kernel version only. When you get updates and get a newer kernel version, also known as linux-image, you will need to recompile:
Code:
cd Desktop/compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc <--or whichever version you compiled
make clean
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe alx
You might copy these instructions to your desktop so you'll recall when the time comes.
