Tell us why you want to know. What is the problem you are trying to solve,
or are you just curious? Is it not working? Is it a leakage point from the
company, etc.

Look in /etc/modprobe.conf and see if there are entries for all three and
what kind of cards they are. Look in
dmesg|less
and look for the three and what they are associated with.
