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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
