 So, I think I have all options selected, but those two do not appear
 as y in .config, but yes in menuconfig...
 
 I'm going to recompile the kernel and try again, but I think I don't
 need it to make zd* driver appear as a valid option...
After recompile the kernel I was able to selct the module, but I still
have the question, why do I have to boot with new kernel for beeing
able to select it?

Cheers,

Hi!

first, sorry for breaking the threat...
I did find ZD1211RW:

Symbol: ZD1211RW [=n]

  │ Prompt: ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB-wireless support

But it does not appear in my kernel options.
Looking for dependencies:
