I would just do another make menuconfig or its equivalent and enable the
additional driver, followed by make modules.  Then you can copy the module
to the appropriate spot in /lib/modules.  It's probably safe to do
make modules_install, but I won't guarantee it.

I know there's a more direct way, but a quick search didn't find it.
