Maybe the old driver is getting loaded by the kernel on boot? I had problems when first using ixgbe (Intel 10 Gbe) driver because I was lazy about unloading the stock (outdated) driver that came with the Linux distro.
rmmod <driver> modprobe <driver> Can't think of what the issue could be with your Sonnet Solo if the driver you compiled is loaded as intended. Regardless for people looking at this thread, I have not had any problems with Intel x520-DA2 or x550 based products. Intel is also very good at keeping their open source drivers up to date (cough BROADCOM cough).
