commands for your operating system:
For RHEL:
cd /lib/modules/<version>/extra/qlgc-fastlinq
rm -rf qed.ko qede.ko qedr.ko
For SLES:
cd /lib/modules/<version>/updates/qlgc-fastlinq

1. Issue the following at a command prompt:
rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>/qlgc-fastlinq-<version>.src.rpm
2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary RPM for the
