I'm probably not gonna be a lot of help since I haven't done the
new kernel thing for a long time. However, as I recall, when you
type 'make config' it gives you three choices for every option.
y,n, or m. If you type 'n' then it doesn't make anything. You
have to type in 'm' to specify that you want it as a module.
Just my $.02 :-)
