Also, some of them have a prefix: if_ Interface (NICs etc.) ng_ NetGraph (Not sure where NetGraph came from but it's networking stuff like ppp, the packet filter, etc...) snd_ Sound card drivers And others have a suffix: _saver - console screen saver If you can't figure it out from that, check for a man page... and you should be able to figure out what every module there is for.
