'modprobe -l' simply lists all the modules you have on your system, not 
necessarily the modules you have currently loaded. For the currently 
loaded modules use 'lsmod', or you can 'cat /proc/modules'

For example, when I run 'modprobe -l' I get a big long list of scsi 
drivers and ethernet drivers that I don't have loaded. 'lsmod' just 
gives me this:

Module                  Size  Used by
ndiswrapper           193972  0
nvidia               3712520  14

Hope this helps
