explain what a "module" is that's not a "kernel module"
do you mean the difference between "y" and "m"
in the config ?
if you put "m" then before you can use the module you must do
modprobe <module>
if you have a modern system that uses "udev" to dynamically create device nodes then the equation is a bit more complicated.
