Post the results, if you need help to understand what it is saying.

For the drivers, assuming they are not compiled into the kernel, run the command 'su lsmod' the list may be long, depending on your configuration. You can post that also if you need help with the drivers.

If the drivers are in question, then we need to know the hardware. Run the command 'lspci' and post the results.
