How to find kernel module for a given device?












1














I am trying to troubleshoot a problem: usb mouse doesn't work on a freshly installed linux.



I suspect the problem is that there is no suitable kernel module/driver for my usb hardware. Indeed:



$ lspci -knn

...

01:00.0 USB controller [0c03]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device [1022:43b9] (rev 02)

        Subsystem: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device [1b21:1142]

01:00.1 SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device [1022:43b5] (rev 02)

        Subsystem: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device [1b21:1062]

        Kernel driver in use: ahci

...


As you can see no kernel driver is reported for USB controller device (I suppose it should be reported in a way similar to driver reported for SATA controller)



So, I need to rebuild kernel with a module which would be suitable for my device. But how can I find out what module should I build? I have information which identifies my device: it's vendor id and hardware id ([1b21:43b9]). How to find out corresponding kernel module name given this information?

    @GAD3R lsusb reports nothing. As I understand it is a more high-level command, it can't report anything because there is no kernel driver for USB controller. Is this understanding correct?

  • If the kernel module is not built (or not loaded), or if maybe no kernel module for this device even exists, there's no direct way to find out. Which leaves google (in particular if you need a newer kernel than you have) and greping through the kernel sources, both of which I've done with success in the past.

PCI ID 1022:43b9 is an AMD X370 Series Chipset USB 3.1 xHCI Controller. The PCI subsystem ID 1b21:1142 would suggest it might actually be an ASMedia ASM1042A USB 3 controller, possibly integrated into the AMD chipset.



For most USB 3.x controller chips, the appropriate driver module is xhci_pci which depends on module xhci_hcd. Both these modules are part of the standard Linux kernel, so they should be available in all modern Linux distributions. The corresponding kernel configuration options are CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI and CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD.



Many distributions include the kernel configuration file as /boot/config-<kernel version number>. So, you could run this command:



$ grep XHCI /boot/config-$(uname -r)

CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=m

CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=m

# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PLATFORM is not set


Here, both xhci_hcd and xhci_pci are configured to be available as modules. If the lines would say ...=y instead, the USB 3 support would be compiled into the main kernel.



PCI ID 1022:43b5, subsystem ID 1b21:1062 is an AHCI SATA (or eSATA) controller, which is already covered by module ahci.



You can look up PCI IDs in PCI ID Repository.

    Thanks, you are correct. xhci_hcd module was required. I just found it using live usb with another version of linux. lspci -k command showed me the module name. But this doesn't feel like a true way to resolve similar problems. The question still remains - what is a consistent way to find out kernel module given the hardware id's?
