Hi James:

  There are some nice and detailed instructions that you can search for 
on the 3ware site.  They walk you through it.  Just get into the 
documentation/support section and search for SuSE 2.6 compile  or similar.

  That said, I thought that the SuSE kernel came with the 3w-9xxx and 
3w-xxxx drivers pre-built.  They are not up to date (usually), but they 
have been working for me (after 9.0 anyway).
