 From my experience you always have to specify all modules and the 
modules they depend on. I for example had to specify this for zfs 
support in the config file:

makeoptions     MODULES_OVERRIDE="zfs opensolaris acl_nfs4"

I actually only wanted zfs, which depends on opensolaris which then 
again depends on acl_nfs4 (probably because I sepcified nfs4 support in 
the config file)

I only found out after a few tries. It's really not ideal, that module 
dependencies are not resolved.
But once you know about it, you can live with it :-)

Is that the SDIO based internal WiFi? Let me know if it works!
