for ones (like me) who always forget that this f@!#@ module name for /proc/config.gz is named configs, i made a script that browse all modules and output their names and description
simple but it do the work
Code:
#/bin/sh
modules_dir="/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/"
modules_list="$(cut -d ':' -f1 ${modules_dir}modules.dep)"
while read -r line; do
   name="$(modinfo ${modules_dir}${line} | grep '^name:' | sed -r 's/.{16}//')"
   desc="$(modinfo ${modules_dir}${line} | grep '^description:' | sed -r 's/.{16}//')"
   echo "$name: $desc"
done <<< "${modules_list}"
