rt2570.ko & linux SMP-kernel

I have two systems with a recent SUSE 10 kernel installed. One has the default
kernel (kernel-default-2.6.13-15.11) and the other has the SMP variant
(kernel-smp-2.6.13-15.11), possible due to total different CPU's.
It seems that the default kernel contains the rt2540.ko driver, but the smp variant does not. So I cannot install the driver on the smp variant (make does not work)

Could I copy the rt2570.ko from one machine to the other one?, and how should I get it properly placed in the smp-kernel (newbie here)

Different kernel flavors are not binary compatible. You cannot use a module from a default kernel with an smp kernel or vice versa, it will not work.

If the module is provided by one of the kernel packages and not by the other one, there are probably good reasons. Maybe it just doesn't work with smp.

I don't know much about this driver, only that it was never stable and that it's discontinued and replaced by a different one in 10.1.
