I don't think you should really have to recompile your kernel these days. It could be that the module is loaded, but needs firmware.
srkhan, you've left out vital information needed for us to help you. First of all, which distribution are you using? Secondly, we need to know more about the device in question. Specifically, the chipset would help. Can you please run "lspci" or "lsusb" (in a terminal and without quotes), depending on whether you've got a PCI or USB device and post the output here? You may need to run the command as root (or with sudo).
