how to identify in linux which driver is used by wifi usb device?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with a TL-WN722N usb wifi module from tp-link. The wifi device is working fine. I believe it is using the ath9k_htc driver but would like to be sure.
Is there a command to identify which driver is being used? I've tried lsusb, modinfo, and iwconfig but can't seem to see any driver info.

On my installation I just use:

lsmod | grep cfg80211

and then find the driver (iwlagn im my case) listed.
