Re: Getting driver module name from device node?

2010-06-02 Thread Mayank Kaushik 
I found this for network devices:

ls -l /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2006-02-09 14:16 /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver
-> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/e1000

which is what I had been looking for.

Hi Mayank,

Depending on the device, you can use sysfs (/sys) for this.

Your email address says "utexas", are you currently studying at a uni in
texas? I'm joining CS this fall at UTDallas =)

cheers,
Joel

Getting driver module name from device node?

2010-05-18 Thread Mayank Kaushik 
Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a dumb question. For a device node in the /dev directory,
how do i figure out which driver is handling that node? I'm looking for a
way to do this from the shell prompt.

Thanks,
-Mayank
