I am just curious is there any way to determine if a particular module is loaded/installed.
$lsmod lists all modules (device driver loaded).
Is there any way to
My short way to find if a given module is actually loaded:
cat /proc/modules | grep -c nfnetlink
which outputs
2
That 2
(TWO) means the module is LOADED. The actual output without -c
shows all loaded modules with MODULENAME - -c
counts the lines that contain MODULENAME. So if you have 0
(ZERO) lines as output then the module is not loaded
