I don't use localmodconfig to know its quirks, but as I understand it you 
should use it with a LiveCD which has *already* probed the card and loaded the 
module that you are interested in.  You can check with lsmod that the module 
in question has been loaded.

It goes without saying that it is safer if you have added/powered on the 
hardware before you boot with the LiveCD.

Alternatively, use make xconfig or menuconfig and enable each kernel item in 
the list shown above the module that you are interested in.
