I could not run a "make" or "install" on a driver file and I was advised to install the Kernal through YaST. No knowing which ones, I selected all. The developer who created the beta rt2500 (ralink wireless) driver indicated that I had made the file with SMP and that the driver was unstable with SMP (symmetical multiple processors). Which Kernel should I choose to make files?
"So, do I remove the SMP Kernel, reboot, check which kernel I'm using and run make within the directory that contains the target?"
You haven't given me enough information to answer your question. Are you running SMP? If so then the SMP kernel is the one you need. If you are not running SMP then the default kernel is the one you need. Check your kernel name. If you are using the wrong kernel then boot into the correct kernel. Then install the corresponding kernel source in /usr/src/linux.
Double check to make sure that the kernel you are running on is the same kernel as the kernel source you have in /usr/src/linux. Then compile your driver against the kernel source.
"The developer who created the beta rt2500 (ralink wireless) driver indicated that I had made the file with SMP and that the driver was unstable with SMP (symmetical multiple processors). Which Kernel should I choose to make files?"
If you are actually using the SMP kernel then you should compile the driver against the SMP kernel source but the developer already said this isn't going to work anyway.
