    Kernel Options & Modules

    Am I being blind?

    I've looked through the debian.org website and am having trouble finding a list of which modules / drivers are included in the "standard" kernel, and which ones are available as extra modules.

    I would have expected a section on the packages page for kernel mods.

    I'm just not seeing the obvious or not thinking about this right?

    Thanks,

    John

    If its a module?

    Thanks for the quick answer. good stuff.

    Is there a text description listing of all of the modules? Where?

    If a module is listed as an "m" how do I make use of it in my system?

    (Is that the modprobe command?)


    Thanks again,

    John
