Check the CDL?
Look in the build directory to see if the driver for that device actually
was built?

Note: because of the way 'fconfig' works, once you succeed in getting
this driver to build, you'll want to run 'fconfig -i' to reinitialize
the database.  Only then will the options to set the ESA be present.
The driver should work with a fallback ESA until then though.
