I'm confused.

I see your point: modules.dep and the actual driver module filenames in 
/lib/modules use dashes in the names, while usbtable uses underscores.  
So why does lsmod show underscores instead of dashes ?

Also, why do the two differ ?  If the kernel package, which one would 
think is definitive, uses dashes, why does ldetect-lst use underscores ?
