Using this package name did indeed in fact allow me to install the older 
3.18 kernel on my Qubes system, thank you. Interestingly it actually 
automatically changed/set the "default kernel" under VM Settings to this 
one upon completion of download and install, but it was easy enough to 
change this back centrally to 4.1.x and have all VM's acknowledge it again 
instantly upon startup. But I was surprised to see this auto-set behavior 
upon install.

Unfortunately, the older kernel made no difference in the ability of Qubes 
3.1 to work with my wifi card. In fact, no combination of various templates 
(fedora 21, 23 either R3.0 or R3.1 versions, Debian) or kernels allowed the 
wifi card to work properly under Qubes R3.1.   And yet when I boot into my 
Qubes R3.0 installation (all my installations are on external flash media, 
not internal HD) on the very same laptop, the wifi card works flawlessly as 
always.

Very strange that a forward upgrade to a newer version, would somehow 
completely break a previously existing functionality with a peripheral.

If there are another suggestions that I'd be advised to try before giving 
up entirely, I'm all ears. I know that generally Qubes can be finicky about 
hardware environment, but this is a laptop/wireless-card that works 
perfectly under R3.0.

Thanks again...
