$ lsmod| grep rt2x00
rt2x00pci              13287  1 rt2800pci
rt2x00mmio             13603  2 rt2800pci,rt2800mmio
rt2x00lib              55307  5 rt2x00pci,rt2800lib,rt2800pci,
rt2800mmio,rt2x00mmio
mac80211              626489  6 rtl_usb,rtlwifi,rt2x00lib,
rt2x00pci,rt2800lib,rtl8192cu
cfg80211              484040  3 mac80211,rtlwifi,rt2x00lib
