You can find out some info about them by modinfo <module name>, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> lsmod | grep nv sata_nv 30084 0 libata 145056 1 sata_nv [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /sbin/modinfo sata_nv filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_nv.ko author: NVIDIA description: low-level driver for NVIDIA nForce SATA controller license: GPL version: 2.0 vermagic: 2.6.18.2-34-default SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1 supported: yes depends: libata alias: pci:v000010DEd0000008Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd000000E3sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd000000EEsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd00000054sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd00000055sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd00000036sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000003Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd00000266sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd00000267sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000037Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000037Fsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd000003E7sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd000003F6sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd000003F7sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000045Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000045Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000045Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd0000045Fsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc01sc01i* alias: pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc01sc04i* srcversion: 88AC448C3ACCC091E623943
You can also get info about your hardware via /sbin/lspci and even more info for the driver module by examining the kernel sources. HTH. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
