Ok, I am using a module named 'qla2300'.  I did build my own kernel, and made sure to choose the 'CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2300=m' and 'CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m' options.  Upon rebooting the hotplug stuff saw the cards and loaded the module for me.  Here's what the output should look like if all goes well:

I tried this:
# echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/1           
-bash: /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/1: No such file or directory

I'm assuming this is because the qla2xxx directory does not exist (nor does any other qla<blah> directory)... so i tried creating it manually:

cmatheson@godzilla:~$ sudo mkdir /proc/scsi/qla2xxx                             
mkdir: cannot create directory `/proc/scsi/qla2xxx': No such file or directory

maybe i'm not allowed to play around in /proc like that?  any tips?

Thanks!
