If you removed the previous kernel then you'll have to specifically
install it. First place to look is in your apt cache and see if the
deb is still there:

find /var/cache/apt/archives -name linux\*

If that turns up the right .deb, then just 'dpkg -i' it.

Otherwise, you'll need to try and pull it off a mirror
somewhere. Probably snapshot.debian.net would have it. You'll have to
either download it directly and use dpkg, or put snapshot in your
sources.list to use apt. 

If you have time and resources, you could spend a little time seeing
if you can pin the problem down to a particular module and file a bug
report as this sounds like a regression bug.
