Linux refers to drivers sometimes as modules. Generally root permission is required to use any of these commands:

lsmod = lists all modules
rmmod = remove a module
modprob = add a module

drivers are located (usually)
/lib/modules

PCMCIA devices are controlled by the card manager
/etc/pcmcia.conf

Network Devices:

ifconfig = utility for network
iwconfig = utility for wireless network

ifconfig eth0 up = starts eth0
ifconfig eth0 down = shuts down eth0
