Its ugly and you'll then have an RPM database out of sync.

I'm not sure when the functionality to allow specification of module
path was introduced into moutils, but my recollection was that it was
years ago.

If AS2.1 has the feature adding the path to /etc/modules.conf is the
easiest fix.

The syntax is something like (I'm at home and don't have a linux box
here, so can't be sure)

path[addons]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/qla2xxx

(you don't want to put it into the kernel dir - the kernel owns that
directory and may remove the module on an update)

Then build the module and put it into the directory you specified.

If the AS 2.1 modutils doesn't have that feature, you might want to
consider updateing it (modutils) to a newer version - the one that
comes with RH3 for example.
