If you've already got the symbols in your kernel for it, you can
simply go into this directory and do "make".  This *should* make the
modules for you, but inserting them into a kernel without the proper
symbols will fail anyway.

You say there's *no* documentation for this RPM?  Tried 

  ``rpm -qdp foo.rpm''?

Maybe search the SuSE mailing list for the RPM to see whether there's
been any helpful discussion of the topic?
