DSE XH1148 USB Modem under Red Hat 9 - questions re kernel versions

Hi Guys
I've just set up Red Hat 9 (kernel 2.4.20-8) and installed the driver from
the DSE site - it all works great. However I have a dual P3 500 system and
by default the machine would start up running kernel 2.4.20-8smp. The driver
wouldn't work under this, and upon investigating and doing things like
insmod e2.so I found out the Linux driver is only for kernel version
2.4.20-8
I got it to work by forcing my pc to boot in single processor mode
Since then there have been kernel updates for RH9, but I still have to boot
using the old kernel (I'll try the latest single-processor version of the
kernel today to see if the driver still works)
My question is, are there newer driver versions on the web somewhere (I
think it's a conexant driver)? Is there a way to force it to work in smp
mode? I don't want to sacrifice the power of dual processing just because of
one driver...
Any help or links greatly appreciated!
