I have a list of about 220 kernel modules and would like to find out 
what 
        they do, or are for (none has a man page). I suspect that many of them 
        are drivers for particular devices.

        Is there any resource or documentation available?

        Thanks.

        P.S. Here are the first few:
        ahc_eisa
        ahc_isa
        ahc_pci
        alias_cuseeme

See e.g. ahc(4).
However, what I do is:

makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="geom/geom_part acl_nfs4"

in the kernel config file, or include whichever
modules you use. This way you only build/install
what you actually need. On some boxes I don't
build any modules at all:

makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE=""

Also, many drivers I build into the kernel,
because I use them all the time, so the extra
flexibility of modules is not required there.

Anton
