Summary:                    insmod, modprobe, modules.alias (and maybe others)
don't treat '_' & '-' as interchangable
Description: 
I have a module uhci_hcd/uhci-hcd

It lives at kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko

If I enter 'insmod uhci-hcd', it succeeds
If I enter 'insmod uhci_hcd', it fails

If I enter 'modprobe uhci-hcd', it succeeds
If I enter 'modprobe uhci_hcd', it fails

There is a reference in modules.alias which looks like

alias pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i00* uhci_hcd

If I enter 'modprobe
pci:v00008086d00002659sv00001028sd00000182bc0Csc03i00', it fails

If I change the reference in modules.alias to:

alias pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i00* uhci-hcd

If I enter 'modprobe
pci:v00008086d00002659sv00001028sd00000182bc0Csc03i00', it succeeds

rmmod doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem.

This is 1.2.0, and I can't see any fixes which address this problem.
This might also be the problem seen with report 889 (something similar
happened to me, and is why i started looking at the problem).
