Linux -> make menuconfig -> No "Device Drivers"

Hello.

I have downloaded latest buildroot (2018.08.2). After command "make menuconfig" there is menu to configure kernel compilation. The problem is I don't have "Device Drivers" in list as it should be according to f.e.: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cryptoloo...iguration.html
I have to activate some kernel drivers. Any idea how to activate this option?

Thanks for any answer.

Are you sure you are seeing the whole list? The Device Drivers section is some way down the first page of the menu. Try hitting Page Down.
