There are no modules, on the Touch everything is compiled directly into the kernel rather than as loadable modules, thus lsmod doesn't show anything, that doesn't mean they aren't there, it just means they are not loaded at run time but linked directly into the kernel. A general purpose linux distribution HAS to use loadable kernel modules because every body's computer has different hardware, it has to be able to load the drivers for that specific hardware. Well all the Touches are exactly the same hardware so there is no need for run time loadable drivers. lsmod tells you what loadable modules you have loaded, NOT what drivers are active. On a system where everything is a module you can sort of use lsmod to tell you what drivers are there, but with the Touch its pretty much useless.
