Yep, I had independently come up with the same conclusion, but pulling
that specific configuration file, dropping it in the linux source
directory and looking at it with xconfig. 

In so doing, I have determined that the modules I need are already
compiled in or exist on my machine as LKMs (Loadable Kernel Modules),
and hurray, I don't need to compile a new kernel!  Thanks for all that
help! A few insmods and off I go.
