The set of available modules depends on which ones were compiled when
the kernel was compiled.  You can get a loose idea with:

find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name "*.o"

which will list the ones compiled.

To see which modules are loaded at this instant, run:

cat /proc/modules

The kerneld functionality has been folded into the kernel in 2.2.x;
it's now a compile-time configuration option.
