The easiest thing to do is take a working .config file (like created by
your distro, for the kernel it is booting), and creating a smaller
config for just the hardware plugged into the machine at that moment in
time.

You usually do this automatically by running:
	make localmodconfig
which knows how to root around in /proc/config.gz or /boot/ to try to
find the current config file and go from there.

But remember to go back and enable anything specific for any devices you
don't have plugged in at the moment.

Hope this helps,
