Hello
I'm not aware of any application or script that goes online to search out all drivers used on any installed system, and don't believe there is one, but maybe someone will lend a correction if that's inaccurate. Most drivers for Linux come with the Linux kernel so there are very few times that drivers need to be added, with the exception of very new or obscure hardware, or proprietary devices.
Updating to the latest kernel will often give you drivers that you might need but didn't have before.oz

Not, per se.
What people usually do is:
1. Update the kernel/userland packages. For RH/Fedora:
2. If that doesn't work, get chipset info for hardware devices:Code:yum update
Then google for Linux drivers for them. Usually, someone has run across your same hardware dilemma and has solved it. Sometimes manufactures will have Linux drivers. Other times you have to obtain additional firmware or 3rd party drivers. Sometimes you'll have to patch your kernel. Sometimes, you are plain out of luck.Code:lspci
If you are having particular trouble, post your PC make/model, the driver/hardware in question, and the output of lspci.
