Can not find 3c59x in `make menuconfig' [SOLVED]

Where in `make menuconfig' does one select the Wi-Fi module `3c59x'?

I found it when I compiled kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r4, but I'm
somehow missing it in `menuconfig' for kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r6.
[I don't want to just copy my ".config" from -r4 because it has
other problems.]

I believe that's:

device drivers->networking support->ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)->[*] 3COM cards-> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support .

I'm not sure if that's wifi though...

mmontg1,
you answered my question correctly --now 3c59x is found
and loads. Now I discover that a module "dm-mod" isn't
being found, and I'll guess that this is somewhere in

Thank you nein and mmontg1.

While `make menuconfig' may not yet be tamed,
at least now it is listening...
