I know I can get the drivers loaded as modules with lsmod and modinfo. But how do I know which drivers are compiled into the kernel?

On my system
ls /lib/modules/

ghaze I thank you for your reply. I think however that you made a mistake in your advice. ls /lib/modules will list all drivers compiled as modules which may or may not be loaded for a particular system. What I needed was a list of the drivers that were compiled directly in the kernel.
Fortunally I just stumbled on the solution
cat /boot/config-$VERSION | less
will list the configuration file used to compile the kernel. I think this will only work on debian and derivatives such as Knoppix. Then again who cares about other systems :lol:
