Hi guys,
I want to setup a server with GenToo, which has 2 QLA2340 Fiberchannel 
adapters built in.  I downloaded from their website the redhat package
http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/14511/qla2x00-v6.06.10-dist.tgz
By modifying their Makefile and Config.in I managed to include their
modules after some try and error, and compile a kernel with "genkernel".
  Though it works, it's quite unclean, because 2 modules "qla2300" and
"qla2300_conf" are needed.  Regardless what I do, genkernel only
compiles qla2300. I solved it in a way that when genkernel dies when it
tries to merge the non-existing "qla2300_conf.o", I compile the module 
manually, copy it to a private location, run genkernel again, and after the 
"make clean" step copy it back to the driver-directory, so it can be happily 
merged.
   Before I dig into the details of genkernel and Makefiles to make this work 
cleanly, do I miss possibly an easy standard way to compile 3rd party drivers 
in ?

Thanks for any advice, Herbert
