Updating the kernel would be the most appropriate way, of course.  Upgrading to 
a supported version of SLES is another, even better way.  :)

Activating an OSA manually is certainly a choice you can make, but not one I 
would recommend.  However:
echo 0.0.efac,0.0.efad,0.0.efad > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/group
udevadm settle

If /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.efac already exists, those two commands 
can be skipped.

Not having such hardware to test with, I don't know if it needs to be in Layer 
2 mode or Layer 3.
For Layer 2:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.efac/layer2
For Layer 3:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.efac/layer2

Followed by:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.efac/online
