That's a bit wrong... how about try changing the 4965 "y" to "m"?

yes and no... "y" sometimes means it assumes *your current kernel* has
it built-in (i.e. = "ignore this option").

Well, if you want to skip some modules, you just put comment it out,
e.g. edit drivers/net/wireless/Makefile and put a "#" before any line
that doesn't contain obj-$(CONFIG_IWL*
