Quick Command Reference: List Loaded Drivers on Linux?

driverquery is the command on Windows to get list of drivers. In the same way, on Linux we have lsmod which lists the drivers installed on the box.

lsmod is a program to show the status of modules in the Linux Kernel. lsmod is a trivial program which nicely formats the contents of the /proc/modules, showing what kernel modules are currently loaded.

Example: lsmod of a typical ESX 4.1 Box could show:

[root@esx]# lsmod
