If the lpfc driver is available, it would be called "lpfc".  Getting a newer
version from the Emulex web site is good idea as you can then also
download the version matching lputil utility for firmware upgrades and HBA 
modification.

If you tail your messages file or watch your console when you perform a insmod 
lpfc or
modprobe lpfc you can watch it pick up the targets.  If this is part of a 
fabric, make sure
the correct zoning is in place.


Thanks
