New module: kernel recompile?

Hi, I've installed a new RH8.0 system after losing the old one. Problem is, the fresh installation doesn't support my (Myson) Ethernet card, and I have to load the ``fealnx'' module to get it to do so. And that module isn't already compiled and insertable. So: is it possible to compile the module and then insert it into the kernel, instead of recompiling the whole kernel, as I had to do the last time? (Not that I don't like recompiling the kernel; it just gets a little boring during the 5 hours it takes.)

I've got the ``.config'' file from my previous RH8.0 installation (on the same system) and can put it up for anyone who's interested.

Thanks,
Yawar
