Under Centos 5.X, how can I determine with 100% certainty what driver is associated with a given device other than referencing dmesg? For example, what tool can I use to tell for sure what driver is attached to my eth0 device?
I have searched the web, but could not find anything that answered my question.

One way is to crawl the sys file system. On one of my systems the driver can be seen by viewing the target in the /sys/class/net/eth0/driver link.
Thanks. Unfortunately that link does not appear on my Centos box.
I will simply file this under "would be thing to have in the future." Perhaps I just found myself a neat little project.
