How to find out what modules are used

In /etc/rc.conf there are a lot of modules that are loaded that don't need to be, like modules related to OSS. Is there some command that'll show me what modules are being used at the moment and/or what they do?

Yes Thinkpad FTW! Back on topic; so there are three columns: Module, Size and Used By. In the used by column what do the different numbers mean?

I ran "lsmod | less" to be able to view each individual one. (That "| less" part is really useful)

The number is the amount of references, other modules who use it.

With the last update of pciutils running "lspci -k | less" is a nice information too.

Isn't always descriptive enough, but can also help:

modinfo MODULE_NAME
