right at the start of the kernel sources there should be a General Setup and under that should be Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers enable that

The most likely reason is that you're missing a required dependency for the other drivers. If you know the module/option name you can search for the option using "/", then type the option/module name. Once you find the module you're looking for, look at the DEPENDS line - this will tell you what is needed for this option (which you can then search for to find the location of in menuconfig).

Most of the network driver options seem to depend on: NET && NETDEVICES && NET_PCI && PCI

One option to check is NET_PCI. Once in the "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)" section, ensure that the "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers" is enabled.
