Snow Leopard. Terminal. Currently loaded drivers

kextstat command shows all loaded drivers:

If the loaded address is zero, it's a part of the kernel and not a driver. Such things cannot be unloaded. If you look for a specific driver use:
keystat | grep "file"

You wil see only "file related" drivers in the list.
There are three more command from the same seria: kextfind, kextload and kextunload. Last two require the super user password and should be called as
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/msdosfs.kext

kextfind help to find a driver, for example, so:
kextfind -bundle-id -substring 'file'
