is there a program that can detect your network card, and then return the module(name) used for that card? What does a live cd like knoppix use for this task.
I think he's asking not just how to VIEW the pci devices (in this case a NIC), but how to determine which module is being used for that particular device.
I would also like to know this.
I'm using Knoppix 4.02 now (very cool by the way), and want to know what module it's using for my wifi nic.
I know about lsmod, but cant' tell which is for my nic.
for instance, the gentoo live cd, automaticlally loads my nic module. After building a gentoo system, my module does not get autoloaed, I need to specify it spectifcally if I want it to be loaded. I have hotplug installed, but it does not seem to load the module. So I was wondering what mechanism loads it on a live cd like it or knoppix
