From the above link, we see this very useful script for finding the kernel modules we need for a build:

#!/bin/bash
# find_all_modules.sh
#
#  Let the kernel tell us what we need
#  Now that we have gone through all of the steps of poking around in sysfs and
#  following symlinks to module names, here is a very simple script that will do all of
#  that work, in a different way:

for i in `find /sys/ -name modalias -exec cat {} \;`; do
   /sbin/modprobe --config /dev/null --show-depends $i;
   done | rev | cut -f 1 -d '/' | rev | sort -u

exit 0
