My unorthodox but highly effective way to resolve issues like this:
If google or menuconfig's help function doesn't give me an answer in 10
minutes, I boot off Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a usb stick (it's a 1G download),
and note which modules it loads and settings it uses for stuff. Boot back into
gentoo, configure and build accordingly ... sorted
