Standard Kernel Drivers

• Many Drivers come as part of the distribution's Kernel. Use Them.
• These Drivers are stored, as we saw, in the /lib/modules/ directory.
• Sometimes, the Module file name will imply about the type of Hardware it supports.
• Often, a search on Google would give the Module's name, assuming we looked for the chip-set, not for the marketing name of the Hardware.
• Finally, looking on the web page of the company that manufactures the product, or the chip-set, might come up with a Driver. If we're lucky, this Driver is already part of our Kernel, and we don't need to download it.
