No joy. It tells the kernel version number, but not the module version number.

It should be posted if the developer included in module info section, but not all them do. If it is not there, check in /sys or /proc. Since every developer writes in a proprietary way, you have to find it on your own. For example nVdidia states its version at /proc/driver/nvidia/version.

BTW, this is an old thread.

I know this is a really old thread,but just in case anyone get in here trying to find out how to get information about a module (such as I did),you can get it with modinfo.

Code:

#modinfo module-file

Sample output:

Code:

# modinfo megaraid_sas

filename:      /lib/modules/3.0.13-0.27-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko
