Should we have any expectation that a module name and it's filename
should be equivalent?
I was writing an auto-complete script for modprobe so it wouldn't give
me the option to double load a module (I'd have to manually type it in if
I really wanted it).
Trouble is some modules with names w/underscores ('_') change
register their names with a 'dash'.
Would it be too much trouble to ask that the same names be used in
both places?
I have about 30 modules loaded now and out of that list,
2 are name changes:
acpi_cpufreq (filename acip-cpufreq.ko)
kvm_intel (filename kvm-intel.ko)
If I load a bunch more... I find more that change names.
Could the naming in the modules that do this be made consistent?
Not doing so makes automatically tying a mod-name to it's file
tend toward being non-deterministic.
Many modules use '-' or '_' without being confused.
It would be helpful if the few confused modules could
get their identity straight. Is there a problem with
making these names consistent?
