I can offer two ideas, but there might be better ways that I haven't
thought of so early in the morning... <disclaimer>I've never run SUSE
so this generic info, not SUSE specific, maybe someone else can help
with some specifics?</disclaimer>

First: `cat /proc/modules` this will tell you what modules you
currently have loaded.

It's also possible that what you're looking for could be compiled into
your kernel rather than as a module. To find that information, cd to
your kernel source tree, often found at /usr/src/linux, and run `make
menuconfig`. Then hunt through the various sections for the items
you're interested in.
