There are many modules for scsi devices. They should be in /lib/modules/.../scsi/* (approximately, depending on your distribution). If they are not in the kernel they can be loaded via insmod. Check this commands: lsmod, insmod, modprobe, rmmod. If for some reason you need them in the kernel you would have to build a kernel with them, but I have never found that necessary. In my experience the most important difficulty has been having the computer recognize the card once it is installed (interrupts, dma and all that). From there on it should be downhill.
