There is no difference between UP or SMP as far as bcm5700 is concerned...<BR /><BR />What error do you have ?

For example, if the current kernel is UP (uni-processor)<BR />and an SMP (symmetrical-multi-processor) kernel is booted, these<BR />steps must be performed again to configure the kernel source for <BR />SMP before building the bcm5700 driver for the SMP kernel." <BR />Tell to install in bought UP and SMP and it dont work . . .
