Missing choices in kernel xconfig


Hi all,

Lately I downloaded kernel 2.6.19.1 from kernel.org The compilation went fine. But now I want to work with bluetooth devices, I read in "O'Reilly Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" that I will find something called "Bluetooth subsystem support" and other stuff inside it when configuring the kernel.

My problem is that I can't find this option, I used the search tool in the xconfig .

Is there anything needed beside the kernel source that I need ?

By the way I have all the software needed to run kdebluetooth
Here is a list of what I installed:
Bluez libs and utils
dbus
openobex
kdebluetooth

I am using slackware 11


Thanx
Bye.

Dunno, use menuconfig (it's text-based, go to the sources dir and type 'menuconfig')

"Why didn't the search tool find it??!?!"

Don't know. But, I've been through config so many times recently that
I have a good feel of where things are. You looked like you'd made a good
faith effort to find it on your own, which so many don't do, so it was
an easy decision to help you find it.
