I am asking what modules I should be considering.
Besides the ones I have mentioned, I am not certain which other modules I
need to consider.

Is there a way I can get a list of all the modules the kernel is using?
I am pretty new to Linux, so I did a:
	cat /etc/modules

It shows:
	lp
	rtc
	sbp2
	ivtv

To that I expect I will also need:
	lircd

Thanks,
Dave
