Update to a newer distro, Ubuntu 16.04 / Debian Jessie and install something like webmin, it's not as fancy as OMV but it should do most of the same thing.

It's more the other way around, you need a kernel that supports the stick, most of the sticks on the market use the Si2*** chipsets because they're pretty decent, the drivers are fine and they're cheap.
You can always build yourself a new kernel (it's not that hard, I do it all the time).
If you mainly run tvheadend / samba like I do, barebones ubuntu (or debian) will work just as well as OMV.
