From the source code, you can build a
qla2xxx.ko

qla2xxx_conf.ko
module for
the host. You can then choose to load the driver manually or automatically, as described in “To

In the directory that contains the source driver file,
qla2xxx-x.yy.zz-dist.tgz
, use
the commands shown in the following example.
#
tar -xvzf *.tgz
# cd qlogic
# ./drvrsetup (this extracts the source files directory into the current directory)
# cd qla2xxx-
x.yy.zz
(
x.yy
indicates the driver version;
zz
indicates the file extension, which
is typically .ko for kernel modules (binaries)).
