It’s highly unlikely Vista will cause a kernel panic.
You should submit an official support request. As a general rule we don’t provide detailed technical support on the forum - it isn’t the correct mechanism.
As for the drivers being made available online, they simply don’t need to be. The one you need is already packaged with the Vista installer and safely stored in your installation directory.
Have you read and followed the “windows drivers” troubleshooting tips we publish on our website?
I would suggest following these instructions and let us know how you get on in your support ticket if you still have issues.
