7 Managing Kernel Modules

Use the lsmod command to view which modules are loaded into the running kernel. Use the modinfo command to find out information about a kernel module. Use the modprobe command to load a module into the running kernel or to change kernel module parameters. You can also create configuration files in /etc/modprobe.d/ to control parameters that are used when kernel modules are loaded. You can also configure whether modules load at boot time, by editing configuration in /etc/modules-load.d/.
