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.

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..
