Hyphen in module names

[Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@yahoo.fr>]

Hi,

The fact that '-' is replaced by '_' in module names seems
to be a feature not a bug. So, what was the rationale for this?

A drawback is that it becomes not trivial to map module
names to filenames as this does not work:
for FILE in $(cut -d' ' -f1 < /proc/modules); do
    ls /lib/modules/MY_NEW_KERNEL/kernel/**/$FILE.ko
done

If it is some kind of user-friendliness, then why not make
the module name matching case insensitive ?  :-p

Sorry for the ranting tone, but I am quite confused.

Thanks.
