I'm using Debian 8 and want to formating my machine to Debian 9. I pretend to do a minimal install with just the right drivers and the necessary X modules. Everything will be done from the CLI. So, how can I discover the necessary drivers that I'm using and find them on Debian 9 (maybe the names have change?).
I have find on the web how discover my video and card drivers, but has something more?

You can get the list of the driver through the command lspci
then get the package name that provides this driver.
e,g:
Get the list of kernel modules driver.
lspci -knn
A sample output for the wifi driver:
08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0032] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [11ad:6617]
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
To get the package name which provide the ath9k
module :
apt-file search ath9k | less
The apt-file
can be installed and updated through:
apt install apt-file
apt-file update
sample output:
firmware-atheros: /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc/htc_7010-1.4.0.fw
firmware-atheros: /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw
...
From this example the ath9k
belong to the firmware-atheros
pacakge. Using the package name you can check on the official website if the package is available on debian Stretch.
Apt-file doesn't worked for me, but apt-cache search yes. But your tip have help-me. Thanks a lot. I found my graphic and wireless card drivers. There is an additional driver to install manually in my case? Or the monitor, keyboard, sound, etc, are automatically recognized?

@PeterGriffin generally it should work without problem (if you don't have any issue with debian Jessie)
