I'm not sure I understand well your question, but if you have a linux distribution with which you can safely play, look for the kernel source directory (it might be in /usr/src/linux) and type make menuconfig (text mode) or make gconfig (gui mode) to view the available device drivers.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
