Like most binary distros, on Ubuntu just about everything that can be a |
| 9 |
module, is a module. |

You can see how it's built by reading the config in /boot, or (maybe) |
| 12 |
via /proc/config (if enabled) - it might be zipped as well. |

To see the modules in use at any given time, lsmod. This gives you the |
| 15 |
names of modules loaded. It's up to you to match that with actual |
| 16 |
kernel config options (sometimes it's not obvious) |
