checking module/compiled-in driver versions in linux

[Chilly]

How do I find detiasled info on the versions of drivers and modules in linux? lsmod just lists names and google is being stubborn, as are the several linux doc/faq sites i've looked at.

any help appreciated much

useful, but I need it for built in drivers mostly

arr depending how you build your kernel you may have to check your header (iirc) files by hand. it would prolly be easier to build everything as a module :/

mind you I've not used linux in a while

If a module/driver includes any sane verison number then it should end up in dmesg (and therefore kern.* logging) output. Where exactly that WILL be depends on your distribution. In my case I can just look at /var/log/dmesg for the output at the end of the boot sequence. Otherwise it may be in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log.

cheers athan, I knew about dmesg but never thought to use it to find version numbers ~slaps forehead~
