problem with compiling drivers for acx111


the instructions in the readme for my wireless nic seem straight forward enough:

Code:
Build instructions:

* Create drivers/net/wireless/acx subdirectory inside
  your kernel tree.
* Unpack tarball into drivers/net/wireless/acx directory.
* Add lines to drivers/net/wireless/Makefile:
        obj-$(CONFIG_ACX)               += acx/
        obj-$(CONFIG_ACX_PCI)           += acx/
        obj-$(CONFIG_ACX_USB)           += acx/
* Configure your kernel (perhaps "make oldconfig").
* Build your modules as usual ("make modules modules_install").

This will create acx* modules.

I followed the instructions explicitly up to the point of configuring the kernel. My problem is that when I try to configure my kernel with "make menuconfig" the module option doesn't show like I thought it would. Searching for "acx/ACX" turns up nothing.

I created the directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.19.1/drivers/net/wireless/acx
unpacked the driver to same and modified the /wireless/Makefile

what am I missing?
