Something like this:
$ lspci -nnn
In the output, look for example:
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: VMware VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller [15ad:07b0] (rev 01)
Then you google: [15ad:07b0]

As a rule, this is not necessary - all drivers are in the kernel.
For any exotic, you need to consider a specific case.

And what kind of device do you have for which there are no drivers in the kernel?
