    I don't know whether the module in question is already built.

    Basically I forgot to select the kernel option in the 'make xconfig'
    stage, so it is neither compiled into the kernel, nor compiled as a module.

    What I would like to be able to do is to run the make xconfig again, and
    then do only what is necessary.

    Do I have to do a complete kernel compile again? It takes my PC at least
    20 minutes.

    Is there some short-cut?

    Thanks
    Adam
