If you're using the huge-smp kernel, switch to the generic-smp kernel (this requires creating an initrd -- see /boot/README.initrd for more information. You could also use Alien Bob's script, which tries to guess the correct mkinitrd command for your system). I *think* these drivers would be compiled as modules in the generic-smp kernel (but I'm not at my Linux box so I can't check), so you could unload the module with `modprobe -r modulename` and load it with `modprobe modulename`.
