driver provenance in kernel

Hello,

I'd like to hnow if a driver is already present in a kernel before atempting to load it as module. I looked into System.map for a key label without success :-(

I know it must be a stupid question but if someone could help me anyway ?

Thanks

man lsmod

:-)

CONFIG_I8K=y

and lsmod says what about i8k.ko then?

oh.. no sure.. sorry I misunderstand your request :-)

sorry
