Try running modconf as root first. It's kinda cryptic, initially, but most of the
time it won't fail to install the proper modules conforming to your hardware.
You'll really need to know thy hardware.
Newer versions of the Linux kernel support more devices. In which case, you
can download the source code of the Linux kernel, compile the wanted functionality
into the kernel directly, or as modules, prior to installing the new kernel into
the system.
Note that some devices (such as NVidia video cards) have proprietary modules;
in which case you download the module from their website, which must suite the
version of the Linux kernel which you are running (type uname -a to see the
version of the kernel).
