If you loaded a default kernel from kernel.org, as opposed to a kernel
from a distro like Mandrake, it comes with very few modules, if any.
Actually, I just checked 2.2.15, since it was handy, and indeed, the
only module configured by default is "dummy".
When you run "make menuconfig", make sure "Enable loadable module
support" is selected from the "Loadable module support" page. Then
enable as many modules as you want. (Press SPACE until you see the
symbol <M> next to a selection).
If you use "make xconfig" you check the middle radio button, labelled
"m", to enable a module. (If you use "make config", you like
pain. (-: )

Yes, modules are a Good Thing. I wouldn't go back to a statically
linked kernel.
