No, i typed "$ rails generate model KnownIP" and got a model named
"KnownIp" in a file named "known_ip.rb".

Sorry, i haven't tested this for controllers, but if there is a mismatch
between a model name and its file name, the model is not working.
Example:
"KnownIP.create" gives "uninitialized constant KnownIP" if the model
file is named "known_i_p.rb" and not "known_ip.rb".
With controllers, which name should be used in the route, the name of
the file, or the name of the controller? :)

According to
$ rails generate controller --help :
"Pass the controller name, either CamelCased or under_scored, and a list
of views as arguments."
It is true that
$ rails generate model --help
does not say this, but i assumed it should have been the same...

I want to have a model KnownIP and a controller KnownIPs controller, and
i want to choose myself how to name their files ("known_ip.rb" and
"known_ips_controller.rb", for example).
I also want to understand the rules and options about naming those
files, in order not to run into some model name or controller name which
would be *impossible* to store in *any* file :).
