[plug] re: kernel -smp conflict

[Jon Miller]

I have a server with a dual Xeon CPU.  I'm using both the main kernel
and kernel-smp.  The nic I'm using is having a conflict with the
kernel-smp when I try to upgrade the nic. I can see that in the initial
install RH installed the drivers in both the kernel and the kernel-smp.
In the upgrade of the drivers there does not exist any means to add the
updated driver in the
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700 path. 
Do I have to do this manually or is there a way to tell rpm that the
files are to exists in both kernel paths?
listing of the updated bcm5700 drivers:

[root at fsmsql i386]# rpm -qpl bcm5700-6.2.11-1.i386.rpm
