Quite possably no need to "recompile" do not forget when installing the
kernel, kernel source kernel modules and the tools to make it all, a modular
kernel is installed along side all its modules.
ALWAYS try 'modprobe <module_name>' first, it could save you a whole lot of
time and trouble compiling a kernel for nothing.

The advantages of having a kernel which has all drivers and some fs options
compiled as modules are so many, kernel size and memory are just 2 of the
most important.

I have a custom kernel with all possable options compiled as module,
everything you could imagen, the kernel itself is very small and consumes
very little memory at boottime.

Root device is (3, 2)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 4392 bytes.
System is 311 kB
