You have two choices. You can recompile the kernel, or you can compile a kernel module separately.

My preference, whenever possible, is not to recompile the kernel, as it is a pain, and means you now need to support your own kernel.

The easier approach is to compile and load in the kernel module. You need to use the exact same version of kernel headers and compiler as was used to compile the kernel. There are detailed directions on how to do so in the docs
