[realtek] SMC 1211 and SMP kernel compiling

[Forest Denger]

hello,

 I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but i cannot find it on your 
website. I have the SMC 1211tx card and i need to compile your driver for my 
debian machine. I have my own kernel 2.2.18 compiled with SMP option. The 
older version of this driver (off smc's website its very old 1.06 i think) has 
a command at the bottom with directions to compile for SMP machines. however, 
i have downloaded your netpack.tgz file, and there are no instructions for SMP 
support. can you please help me? also, in the Makefile on the netdrivers.tgz 
file renames the RTL and tulip drivers to put _cb at the end to denote cardbus 
drivers. Will these still work for the PCI cards? (cardbus is laptop pc slot 
isnt it?) reading the makefile, it doesnt look like it but i will ask 
anyway... does the RTL and tulip drivers still use the new pci modules?

 thanks in advance.

 (note: i think maybe the whole netpack should have a SMP option or should 
detect the SMP kernel. as it is it doesnt even try? i dont know if im right, 
but i thought you had to add extra compiling options for the driver to work in 
SMP machine.)
