Is reinstalling the TBS drivers required after these Linux package updates?

$

System is Debian Linux Wheezy and it wants to update these packages, among others:



linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64

linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common

linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64

linux-libc-dev



It wants to update all these to new version 3.2.63-2+deb7u1. If allowed, would I need to reinstall the TBS card drivers and if so, are there any pitfalls I need to watch out for? I originally followed instructions at http://linux.mjnet.eu/post/401/tbs-driver-install-ubuntu-11-10-tbs6921/ but omitting instructions indicated as only for Ubuntu 13.04, I assume I would simply repeat that process, right?



Alternately, since doing the original install I have come across some alternative TBS drivers by CrazyCat at https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/linux-tbs-drivers - The system appears to be working fine with the official TBS drivers, so is there any real advantage to using those instead?



I've been holding off on letting the system do updates because I don't wish to break anything, so advice here is appreciated.
