How can I get a list of all the active kernel drivers on my Android system?. What is the equivelant of Linux "lsmod" in Android? I used adb shell and also opened my Android Terminal emulator app and did an "lsmod". I get some kind of a lame list of two items from my BSP. But it doesn't list all the drivers on my entire system that the Linux kernel has actively running.

Doing an ls /sys/module/ on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1 Jelly bean, I get the following output

http://pastebin.com/2zF8RwvS

That is a list of all the built-in modules in my Kernel 3.0.31

Additionally, there are loadable modules, ls /system/lib/modules/
