I saw that the list places my messages at the top level of the threads, and not as a response to previous messages. I assume this is because I get the digest version, and reply to that and change the subject. If anyone knows how I can reply "correctly", I'll be glad to comply.

The hint itself also doesn't actually reference many specific options. What I intended was a paragraph or two with the following bits of information: 1. Make sure you enable the relevant options for your hardware. 2. You can usually find hardware information using 'lspci'. 3. Another strategy is to enable many options, (possibly using 'lsmod' as a guide), and then possibly remove options to see what is necessary.

Adding general pointers shouldn't add too much or require too much maintenance.
