Device Driver Issue

Alright, I am really pleased with my new install of trisquel but I have one big issue, my internal SD card reader doesn't work. The model is a broadcom BCM57765/57785- commonly issues with this tie into the ethernet adapter but my wired ethernet works, just that the SD card won't read on the system. I updated my kernel but that hasn't help so are there any drivers I can download that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.
It is a regression that appears in the version 3.0rc2 of the Linux kernel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1067222
That same source presents two workarounds that do not seem to do the trick on all systems.
The first one:
$ sudo setpci -s 00:1c.2 0x50.B=0x40
The second one:
$ sudo modprobe -r tg3
$ sudo modprobe tg3
Would it be possible for me to downgrade my kernel to linux-image-2.6.39-3-generic-pae_2.6.39-3.10_i386.deb which is marked as working with this sd card adapter even though my current kernel under uname-a is:
3.2.0-61-generic #1trisquel1 SMP Sat Apr 26 13:19:42 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I only say this as all workarounds do not work with the given kernel.
The commands I found do not solve your problem?
I guess you could indeed install an older Linux-libre kernel (and select it from GRUB but, for safety, you had keep your current kernel installed for some time). The game is to find such an older kernel! gNewSense provides deb packages for Linux-libre 2.6.32: http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/
Would you find anything newer (yet older than the 3.0 version)?
EDIT: I have just found newer (2.6.38) in Trisquel old repositories: http://oldarchive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/l/linux/kernel-image-2.6.38-16-generic-pae-di_2.6.38-16.67+5.0trisquel1_i386.udeb
