Like most binary distros, on Ubuntu just about everything that can be a module, is a module. You can see how it's built by reading the config in /boot, or (maybe) via /proc/config (if enabled) - it might be zipped as well. To see the modules in use at any given time, lsmod. This gives you the names of modules loaded. It's up to you to match that with actual kernel config options (sometimes it's not obvious) alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
