thanks guys for this.. Now what is the best way to link modules to a specific hardware. for example my lsmod shows that I use 'ecb' module. For someone like me this name does not say much. Is there a way to find which module belongs to which piece of hardware?

Current version of lshw is not able to detect firewire. lubos On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 7:03 AM, Celejar <cele...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:57:09 -0500 > Stan Hoeppner <s...@hardwarefreak.com> wrote: > >> Celejar put forth on 4/4/2010 11:53 AM: >> >> > $ apt-cache show lshw >> > >> > ... >> > >> > Description: information about hardware configuration >> > A small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware >> > configuration of the machine.
