Came up with something possibly a little handier. This command should
tell you what driver is associated with every device on the system.
find /sys/devices -name driver -print0|xargs -0 ls -l|cut -d' '
-f10-|sed -e 's/\.\.\///g'
Output could probably still be a bit better cleaned up, but it should help.
