My first guess is that RedHat's module doesn't handle your card.  Try
insmod'ing the driver that you got from QLogic and see if it recognizes
your card.

FYI, QLogic installs its module to /lib/modules/`uname -
r`/kernel/drivers/scsi.

Using QLogic's driver with 2 QL2312 cards, my modules.conf looks like:

alias scsi_hostadapter0 qla2300_conf
alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300
options qla2300 ConfigRequired=1 ql2xfailover=1 ql2xuseextopts=1
ql2xretrycount=60
post-remove qla2300 rmmod qla2300_conf
