I tend to use a more trial-and-error method.  Basically, it's 
run "pciconf -vl" to get a listing of all hardware in the system, and 
then do searches in man pages, NOTES, and google to find what drivers to 
test for each device listed as "noneX@" (where X is a number).

Most of the time, you can guess what the driver will be called based on 
the type off device listed in pciconf.
