compile kernel and modules:

[Michael Havens]

The kernel source was not in the proper directory so I downloaded one 
but 'make menuconfig' doesn't work.

make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'.  Stop.

You might just check your distro's update servers for a newer kernel, that  
would probably be easier. If you want to compile your kernel with or without 
certain modules, run make 
menuconfig<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menuconfig>from the kernel 
source directory.
