[Pkg-pciutils-discuss] Bug#427572: pciutils: 'pcimodules' shows hyphen where 'lsmod' shows underscore

[A. Costa]

Package: pciutils
Version: 1:2.2.4-1
Severity: normal


Apologies in advance -- I doubt this is a 'pciutils' bug, but am not
sure what package it belongs to, and hope that somebody reading this
can figure it out, and reassign it to the correct package, (sorry!), if
necessary.

    # 'intel-agp' with a hyphen
    % locate -r 'intel.agp'
    /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko
    /lib/modules/2.6.21-1-686/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko

    # what packages are those in?
    % dlocate agp.ko | egrep 'intel.agp'
    linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko
    linux-image-2.6.21-1-686: /lib/modules/2.6.21-1-686/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko

    # another hyphen
    % pcimodules  | egrep 'intel.agp'
    intel-agp

    # no hyphen?
    % lsmod  | egrep '^intel.agp'
    intel_agp              23004  1 

I don't understand where the underscore (_) on that last line came
from.

Note: I discovered this bug, (if it's a bug), by piping the output of
'pcimodules' into a search routine of installed modules.  My 'grep'
code kept missing 'intel-agp', even though it seemed to be installed
-- then I noticed the underscore.

Hope this helps...
