Find out Driver Version Number and Info

Hi,

I was wondering how I could get driver version and information from my
linux box. more specifically i need to know the version number of the
e1000 driver installed in my system. i tried lsmod and also tried
disassembling the e1000.ko file, but no luck.

any suggestions

You could issue the command '/sbin/modinfo e1000'. Chances are pretty good that it is the version
that belongs to your kernel. To get that, use 'uname -r'.
