We use the ones which ship with SuSE. The one used was automatically 
selected by the SuSE installer:

sdx@sn01:~> head /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/0 
QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2340:
        Firmware version 3.03.18 IPX, Driver version 8.01.02-sles
ISP: ISP2312, Serial# C25282
Request Queue = 0xbf100000, Response Queue = 0xf4e40000
Request Queue count = 2048, Response Queue count = 512

Do you think we should use another driver?
