As has been mentioned, feel free to use the nosmp option. A full distro kernel compile takes more than half an hour on my system, and quite possibly well over an hour on most peoples so I am sure you can understand the extra time and work that would be involved for our already overloaded devs.
People have been using the smp one for ages, and there has not been any extra demand otherwise. As for the freezing -- it's ndiswrapper. Live with it or find appropriate native drivers, which exist for most chipsets now if you look hard enough. James.
