Question: Linux Kernel, can I use older modules on the same machnine with newer kernel without compile them new?
Answer: You can't. Each module is compiled for a specific kernel version, and can't be used for kernels that differ from that. You'll need to either get a . ko file for the specific kernel you're running there, or recompile it for that kernel yourself.
