Are you primarily concerned with getting the kernel options enabled and
then the built modules installed onto your target ? (I ask because
TIPC userspace can come into play .. depending on your usecase).

If so, you'd want to add a linux-yocto_3.4.bbappend (assuming you are
using the 3.4 kernel) to your layer, and put your options into a .cfg
fragment that you append to the SRC_URI (just like any patch or other
file). Those options will be added to the config on your next build and
installed.

In that same layer, you can add kernel-modules to IMAGE_INSTALL and
you'll get the build and install whenever the layer is active.

There are other ways to do this as well, but what I have above is
what I typically do in a distro or BSP layer.

Cheers,

Bruce
