Ignore what you know / have done already , proper info is in the wiki on top of this page.

The kernel config it complains about is the .config file in /usr/src/linux/.config or it should be there. Problem = you might need to have run "emerge sabayon-sources" I think or any kernel of your choice as this will populate the /usr/src/???? and then the symlink can be done using "eselect kernel list" and "eselect kernel set 4" if eselect is installed. ( emerge eselect )
Then in /usr/src/linux run "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" both works and this will do a new kernel config.

Alternatively:
You should be able to copy .config from " /proc/config.gz" to /usr/src/linux or using the ones listed on:
viewtopic.php?t=9281
viewtopic.php?p=49841#49841
labeled kernel config and paste it to the /usr/src/linux as .config .
Just make sure it has everything you might need active or =y . Might still have to run "make menuconfig" and just exit ?? not sure .

Then install the modem driver. This should fix the error when installing. Also check /etc/make.conf for missing parts that this driver might need.

Hope this helps.
