Module version running

[Allen, Jack]

Thanks Santhosh and Joey Wang, that is exactly what I was looking for.
The man pages for modprobe, lsmod, and rmmod did not have modinfo in the
SEE ALSO section. I guess I should have done:

	cd /sbin
	ls *mod*

and I would have seen another mod command that I could have done man on.

Again, thanks.
	Jack Allen

Yeah seems little fuzzy.

but this is what happens. .

/boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.el5.img loads some basic .ko's  (you see that in 
the grub.conf  file.. copy that file to .gz extention and cpio to 
extract and see some .ko's.....)

in case if you want to see what is currently loaded..

Try this:

lsmod | awk {'print $1'} | xargs modinfo | grep filename

I'm not sure if there is a way to load it on run time and make it work 
without rebooting it... some one please clarify..

HTH

Thanks,
Santhosh
