| One thing you can try is pressing ? when you have an option selected, it'll tell you a bit about it. |

Also usually to find out what you need to put in your modules.autoload, in menuconfig, hit the help button on the selection youd like to compile as a module. Most of these have a short help message that will say something like "If you have this installed as a module, it will be xxxx.o" (xxxx being the actual driver or program). Then just input "xxxx" into the modules.autoconf file (dont put the trailing ".o" on it), and you are good to go.
