SuSE comes with different flavours of kernels, depending on what kind of
machine you are running.
On my laptop it is eg. "desktop"

hanke@dijon:~> uname -r
3.4.6-2.10-desktop

But anyway, you can install multiple kmod-rpms (as you also can
install multiple flavours).

See http://www.rzg.mpg.de/networkservices/configuring-your-pc
for how to configure this, it is not SuSE-specific, but should be
understandable.

yes, I do. Feel free to ask more questions.
