this lists all loaded modules:
# lsmod

this lists a specific module (in this case, the module "bluetooth")
# modprobe -l bluetooth
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1831_FC4/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko

this lists details about the module:
# modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1831_FC4/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko
filename: 
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1831_FC4/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko

description:    Bluetooth Core ver 2.8
version:        2.8
license:        GPL
alias:          net-pf-31
vermagic:       2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0
depends:
srcversion:     19B804314AF3BC35DB4F3B4

if you really only want the version
# modinfo -V bluetooth
module-init-tools version 3.2-pre9

Kind regards,
