that worked nicely. thanks muchno! the kextstat command seems to list the last drivers you loaded at the bottom of the list, which helps. i only know enough unix to be thoroughly dangerous, but if i could have remembered how to do a (?reverse?) grep or logical /not/ on '<a href="http://apple.com">apple.com</a>' which suppressed those lines, i would have had less than a half dozen entries to deal with.
