Oh... so demanding...
Each feature of the kernel that can be compiled as a module has its own
subdirectory in the source tree. Assuming that you've already prepped
and compiled a kernel from your standing source tree, you can just
make [x|menu]config
...and turn on the module that you didn't turn on before;
make dep
[make clean is probably optional here, I doubt that it matters]
Then cd to the subdirectory where the module source lives and just type
"make".
You should get a module_name.o file. Copy that to the appropriate place
under /lib/modules/`uname -r`, run depmod -a, and you should be in
business.
CAVEAT: I have not done this myself in a really long time, so I'd
appreciate a word back if this still works, or if I've left
out/misstated any details.
Cheers,
