Hey Clug
Anyone happen to have a theory why the '-' becomes a '_' in module names
once inserted into the kernel?
Eg
% sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio
% lsmod | grep snd-usb-audio
you can modprobe snd_usb_audio and rmmod snd-usb-audio will also work.
It just seems odd and I've been losing using search engines to find an
explanation. Some hangover from broken getopt implementations just
scanning for '-' maybe?
