This might be your problem.  To install the driver manually all you
have to do is install kernel-desktop, kernel-desktop-devel,
kernel-source, and maybe kernel-headers (or whatever that one is) or
if you are on a server than change desktop to server.  By running make
oldconfig and modules_prepare you might have changed something that
affects the driver.

No, I don't think so.

Perhaps the correct method is "make cloneconfig" instead of oldconfig.

I'm not sure why you are doing that. That isn't necessary to build the driver.

Cheers,
Stephen
