Look in /lib/modules/<kernel-version> for the modules.

Check out the programs modprobe, insmod, lsmod, and rmmod.

You can load modules and then try them out. Once you get ones to work,
you can add them to /etc/modules so they will load on boot.

Knowing what hardware you have so you can find the right module to load
makes this much easier.

Hope this helps,
