so where to find the installed module and how to reach there.please help me.
Thank you

I am not sure what you are asking. You can list all of the modules which are loaded into memory with the lsmod command:

lsmod

You can find individual modules in the kernel on the disk with the find command, for example:

find /lib -iname "*sn9c1*"

Yes you can write your own driver and compile it into the kernel.
